Ingredients You’ll Need

1 cup plain Greek yogurt: This creamy base gives the breadsticks moisture and a slight tang, helping create a tender texture. If you’re out of Greek yogurt, you can substitute it with regular plain yogurt, though the texture might be a bit different.
1 cup self-rising flour: Self-rising flour simplifies the process with the perfect balance of flour, baking powder, and salt. If you don’t have self-rising flour on hand, you can create your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt.
2 tablespoons melted butter: Adding richness and a golden sheen, the melted butter enhances the flavor of the breadsticks. Olive oil may be used as a substitute for a lighter taste.
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder: This adds a delicious garlicky aroma and flavor to the breadsticks. If you love fresh garlic, feel free to use a minced clove instead for a bolder taste.
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning: This mix of herbs elevates the flavor profile with a comforting, aromatic touch. You can experiment with dried oregano, basil, or thyme if Italian seasoning isn’t available.
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese: This nutty, sharp cheese enhances both flavor and texture. Pecorino Romano could be a deliciously zesty alternative.
Optional: pinch of salt: If you enjoy a saltier finish, this optional pinch can really bring out the flavors of the breadsticks.

How to Make 2 Ingredient Garlic Parmesan Breadsticks

Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your breadsticks bake evenly and achieve that lovely golden exterior.
Make the dough: In a medium bowl, mix together 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt and 1 cup of self-rising flour. Stir just until a shaggy dough forms, as over-mixing can lead to dense sticks.
Knead the dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Knead for about 1–2 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable. This step helps develop the dough’s gluten, leading to a lovely texture.
Shape the breadsticks: Divide the dough into 12 small portions. Roll each portion into a breadstick shape that’s about 6 inches long. Don’t worry about making them perfect; they’ll all be delicious regardless of shape!
Prepare the baking sheet: Place the breadsticks evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes for easy cleanup.
Make the garlic butter topping: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning together. It should create a fragrant blend that you’ll want to drizzle over everything!
Brush and sprinkle: Generously brush the butter mixture over each breadstick. Then, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese over the tops to add flavor and that irresistible cheesy crust.
Bake: Place your baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the breadsticks for 18–20 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when they’re golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Serve warm: Allow the breadsticks to cool slightly before serving, but enjoy them warm with marinara or your favorite dipping sauce.

Storing & Reheating

These breadsticks are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, place them in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until they’re warmed through. Just keep in mind that while they’ll still taste delicious, the texture may change slightly after freezing.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Make sure your yogurt is at room temperature for easier mixing and smoother dough.
Be careful not to over-knead the dough as this can lead to tough breadsticks.
For extra flavor, add fresh herbs to the dough or experiment with flavored butters.
Brush the breadsticks with a bit more melted butter right after baking for an even richer taste.

There’s something special about homemade breadsticks that store-bought versions just can’t replicate. Not only are these 2 Ingredient Garlic Parmesan Breadsticks incredibly easy and affordable to make, but their flavor will have your friends and family reminiscing about their favorite Italian restaurants. So go ahead and get creative—with a little garlic and a sprinkle of Parmesan, you can turn a few simple ingredients into a breadstick experience that leaves everyone craving more!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour?

Yes, you can make your own self-rising flour by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and a little salt. Simply mix 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt for a convenient substitute.

How do I make these breadsticks gluten-free?

To make gluten-free breadsticks, you can substitute self-rising flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend. Just make sure the blend includes a leavening agent, or you can add a bit of baking powder along with the flour.

Can I add other seasonings to the recipe?

Absolutely! Feel free to get creative with your toppings. Consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme, or even sprinkle on some crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat. Customize these breadsticks to suit your taste!

How can I ensure my breadsticks are soft and fluffy?

Knead the dough just until it’s combined, and don’t over-knead, as this can lead to denser breadsticks. Also, baking them at the correct temperature for the right duration is key. Keep an eye on them for that perfect golden brown!
