These breadsticks were born out of one of those moments when dinner needed a quick fix and I was out of time Now they are my go to for parties simple comfort or even just a late night craving My family cannot believe how easy they are

Ingredients

• Plain Greek yogurt: This gives tenderness and a bit of tang Full fat or two percent makes the softest dough Look for smooth creamy yogurt with no added sugar
• Self rising flour: This is the key to lightness and that iconic breadstick puff If you use regular flour just add baking powder and salt for lift Choose a trusted brand that is fresh for reliable rise
• Melted butter: Brushing over the top adds extra richness For the best flavor grab real butter not margarine
• Garlic powder: A sprinkle brings a classic pizzeria aroma Make sure your garlic powder is fresh for max punch
• Grated Parmesan cheese: Optional but it gives a nutty salty bite Choose finely grated for better melt
• Fresh parsley: Chopped parsley adds color and a subtle herbal note Fresh and vibrant parsley has the best flavor

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

Set your oven to 375 Fahrenheit or 190 Celsius and let it heat fully while you prep Lining your baking sheet with parchment helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup a breeze

Make the Dough:

Stir together the Greek yogurt and self rising flour in a bowl Use a sturdy spoon to mix until you see big lumps and most of the flour is incorporated Do not worry if the dough looks a little rough

Knead for Texture:

Lightly flour your work surface Turn out the dough and knead for about three minutes Use your hands to fold push and turn the dough until it feels smooth and elastic This step gives you that classic breadstick chew

Shape the Breadsticks:

Cut or tear the dough into eight pieces Roll each between your palms and the counter until you have even ropes about five to six inches long Try to keep them uniform so they bake evenly

Prepare the Pan:

Move the dough sticks to your parchment lined baking sheet Leave space between each so they have room to expand

Add Extra Toppings:

If you like brush the tops with melted butter This helps the breadsticks brown and adds flavor Sprinkle with garlic powder Parmesan or parsley to taste

Bake to Perfection:

Slide the baking sheet into your hot oven Bake for eighteen to twenty minutes or until the breadsticks turn golden and sound hollow when tapped

Serve and Enjoy:

These are at their best warm from the oven Serve on their own with your favorite dip or as a side for soups and salads
