Ingredients You’ll Need
You won’t believe how these few, straightforward ingredients turn into something so delightfully satisfying. Each one brings its own magic, making these 2 Ingredient Dough Garlic Breadsticks a must-try for beginners and seasoned bakers alike.
- Self Rising Flour: The secret ingredient for effortless, fluffy breadsticks; it already contains the right ratio of flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Non Fat Plain Greek Yogurt: Brings moisture, tang, and surprising richness while keeping the recipe light and airy.
- Cooking Spray: Helps achieve that golden, slightly crispy top you crave from fresh breadsticks.
- Lowry’s Garlic Salt: That signature garlicky bite; if you don’t have it, a quick mix of garlic powder, salt, and parsley will deliver similar flavor.
How to Make 2 Ingredient Dough Garlic Breadsticks
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F. This initial step sets the stage for perfectly baked breadsticks with a golden finish. Giving your oven a few extra minutes to come up to temperature ensures evenly cooked breadsticks every time.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of self-rising flour and 1 cup of non fat plain Greek yogurt. Use a sturdy spoon or switch to a dough hook if you have one handy. Give it a good mix until a shaggy, slightly sticky dough forms and starts pulling away from the bowl. If things seem a little wet, add a sprinkle of the extra flour until it comes together—dough that’s too dry can lead to tough breadsticks, so add slowly!
Step 3: Shape and Slice
Dust a sheet of parchment paper with self-rising flour and turn out your dough. Gently press (don’t roll) it into a rectangle about 10 inches by 5 inches. The dough will be soft, so don’t worry if it’s not perfect. Using a sharp knife, cut it into 8 strips. The rustic edges are part of the homemade charm!
Step 4: Season and Prep for Baking
Place your sliced breadsticks on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Give the tops a quick mist with cooking spray—this helps that garlic seasoning cling and encourages a gorgeous golden color. Generously sprinkle with Lowry’s Garlic Salt, or your DIY blend of garlic powder, salt, and dried parsley, until you’re happy with the coverage.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Slide the tray into the oven and bake for 17 to 19 minutes, until the breadsticks are puffed and top edges look lightly golden. The kitchen will fill with the most inviting, garlicky aroma! Pull them out, let them cool slightly on the tray, and prepare for serious self-restraint—they’re wildly tempting fresh from the oven.
How to Serve 2 Ingredient Dough Garlic Breadsticks
Garnishes
A sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or grated parmesan over hot breadsticks adds a vibrant pop of color and a hint of elegance. For extra pizzazz, you can drizzle with a touch of melted butter or even a dash of crushed red pepper for subtle heat.
Side Dishes
These 2 Ingredient Dough Garlic Breadsticks beg to be dipped! Pair them with a classic marinara sauce, warm marinara, or a creamy homemade ranch dressing. They also complement pasta dishes, salads, or a simple bowl of soup—think tomato basil, minestrone, or even a cozy chicken noodle.
Creative Ways to Present
Serving a crowd? Stand the breadsticks upright in a mason jar or mug for a rustic breadstick “bouquet.” Try threading them through little dipping cups for each guest, or tucking the breadsticks into a basket lined with a napkin to create a snuggly, shareable centerpiece for your table.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftover 2 Ingredient Dough Garlic Breadsticks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. The texture stays best when sealed tightly, keeping them soft and ready to enjoy with your next meal.
Freezing
If you want to get ahead, once the breadsticks are completely cooled, wrap them well in foil and place in a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep happily for up to 2 months. Defrost at room temperature or gently warm in the oven straight from the freezer.
Reheating
To recapture that fresh-baked warmth, pop your breadsticks in a 350 degree F oven for about 5 minutes, or until heated through. A microwave works in a pinch (15-20 seconds), but the oven gives the best “like-new” texture and brings the garlic aroma right back to life.
FAQs
Can I use regular flour instead of self rising flour?
Yes, you absolutely can! Just blend 1 cup all purpose flour with 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt to make your own self rising flour at home. It works perfectly for this 2 Ingredient Dough Garlic Breadsticks recipe.
What if I don’t have Greek yogurt?
Full-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt also works, and in a pinch, you can try plain regular yogurt—just know the dough may be a bit softer and slightly less chewy. Greek yogurt’s thickness makes the dough especially sturdy and satisfying.
How do I make these gluten-free?
Opt for a gluten-free self-rising flour blend (widely available in stores) and use the same measurement. Just double check your garlic salt is gluten-free as well, and you’ll have gluten-free 2 Ingredient Dough Garlic Breadsticks everyone can enjoy!
Can I add cheese to the breadsticks?
Absolutely! Sprinkle a little shredded mozzarella or parmesan on top just before baking for an irresistible cheesy crust. It melts beautifully and adds another layer of flavor to your garlic breadsticks.
Are these breadsticks suitable for meal prepping?
Definitely. Bake a batch of 2 Ingredient Dough Garlic Breadsticks ahead of time and store as directed. They taste great with lunchboxes, as a side for dinner, or for quick after-school snacks all week long.
Final Thoughts
If you’re craving something warm, soft, and loaded with garlicky goodness—without all the fuss—these 2 Ingredient Dough Garlic Breadsticks are your answer. Give them a try and see for yourself just how easy and delicious homemade bread can be. I can’t wait for you to bake a batch and savor each fluffy, golden-brown bite!
