MAKING THE 3 INGREDIENT GARLIC BREADSTICKS
Easy to make, just mix together 1 ½ cups ( 180g) self-raising flour and ¾ cup ( 200ml ) plain unflavored yoghurt or buttermilk. Mix to form a soft dough
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.
Then divide each of the 8 pieces in half to form 16 pieces of dough.
Form each piece of dough into a long breadstick. Approximately 4 inches / 10 cm long.
Brush with garlic butter and bake in a preheated oven of 356°F / 180°C for 12 to 15 minutes or until the breadsticks are lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and brush again with the melted garlic butter. Covering the bread sticks with a kitchen towel immediately after baking will help keep it soft.
Serve warm.
You can use store bought or homemade garlic butter. It is also very easy to make your own garlic butter. In a pan just melt 50g salted butter over medium heat and add 1 clove grated or crushed garlic, ¼ teaspoon dried mixed or Italian herbs and ground black pepper to the melted butter.
So go ahead and fill or top with your favorite butter, herbs or cheese, and however you choose to serve these breadsticks, I know that you are going to love them too!

I just made some breadsticks last night with a soup! I wish I had seen your recipe – 3 ingredients is my kind of recipe!! Happy holidays to you, my friend!
There’s no excuse not to make these! Three ingredients and super easy! Just the recipe I need right now. Happy Holidays my friend XOXOXO
These breadsticks are a great idea, I’ve always said you have the best bread recipes. Merry Christmas Ashika to you and your family 😀
Perfect for New Year’s Eve ! Thank you Ashika !
Only three ingredients? I’m so excited to try these because I loooove garlic bread! Happy New Year, Ashika!
This has become my go to recipe for my kid’s lunch box. Thank you!
Amazing! I made 8 bigger breadsticks though. I thought they turned out almost like olive garden breadsticks!
Hi Cass, thank you for giving this recipe a try…I am so glad that you loved it too 🙂
Hi, Thanks for sharing this recipe. I ran out of yeast and wanted to bake some bread to go along with soup and pasta. They came out good.
Hi Jagjit, thank you and you are welcome 🙂
I am glad that you enjoyed this recipe too 🙂
Hello. Thank you for the simplicity of ingredients Abe procedures. I had to make buttermilk on the spot, and doubled the batch, but it ended up very sticky. Adding a bit of hot water and AP flour still couldn’t get it to separate easily to form sticks. I ended up hand squeezing them into ball form at a total of 11 pieces. Baked for 16 minutes at 375 degrees, and then another 7 minutes at 425 degrees. It came out a little dense on the inside, but my kids loved it. Will try again with warm butter milk and see if it helps. Again, thank you.
Hi Jana, Thank you for giving this recipe a try and you are welcome 🙂
A possible reason for it being too sticky was probably too much liquid added when you made your buttermilk. It has to be thick, and not a milk-like consistency.
This recipe also has to be made using self-raising flour which contains raising agents. This will help to prevent the dense texture. If you do not have self-raising flour, you will find notes at the bottom of the recipe card explaining how to make your own.
I hope that this helps 🙂
I would love to know how it turns out when you do give this recipe a try again.
Hello Ashika. Thank you for your response. I did try to make these bread sticks again this morning, with the same results as last time. I had used self rising AP flour on both occasions and did try using warm homemade buttermilk. Unfortunately I did not see your reply until now. The bread still came out with great flavor, and I used one to make a breakfast sandwich. Overall still a great and simple recipe. My son and God brother claims it tastes like Little Caesar’s bread. LOL! The next time I attempt to do this, i will try to purchase buttermilk and also Greek yogurt. I plan on trying one batch to be topped with homemade caramel sauce and the other with sugared cinnamon mix. 🙂
The recipe sounds amazing, but I don’t have baking powder. Can I use baking soda instead?
Hi Shivani, Thank you 🙂
To answer your question: Using baking soda alone might alter the taste and texture of the recipe. You can make your own baking powder too by mixing together 1 tablespoon of baking soda and 2 tablespoons of cream of tartar.
Use 1 1/4 teaspoons of this mix to substitute for the baking powder.
I hope that this helps to answer your question 🙂
