3 Ingredient Garlic Breadsticks (No Yeast)

PREP TIME 10

COOK TIME 15

TOTAL TIME 25

10 breadsticks

Soft and fluffy garlic breadsticks made with just 3 ingredients. No yeast, no kneading and ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

1½ cups (180 g) self-rising flour (see notes for using all purpose flour )
¾ cup (180 g) full-fat plain Greek yogurt (see notes for using plain yogurt)
4 tablespoons (56 g) store-bought garlic butter, divided (see notes for homemade option)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) or 350°F (180°C) fan/convection about 10–15 minutes before the breadsticks go into the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt to a large bowl. Mix with a spoon or spatula, then use your hands to gently form a soft dough. Do not knead.
Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces (about 35 g each if weighing). Roll each piece into a breadstick about 4½ inches (11–12 cm) long and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the breadsticks with half of the garlic butter.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and brush the warm breadsticks with the remaining garlic butter.

Recipe Notes

All-purpose flour: I also tested these breadsticks with all-purpose flour and they worked just as well. If you don’t have self-rising flour, replace the 1½ cups (180 g) self-rising flour with 1½ cups (180 g) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder and ¼ teaspoon fine salt. Whisk these three ingredients well before adding the yogurt.
Greek yogurt: Full-fat plain Greek yogurt gives the dough a thicker consistency, but regular plain yogurt works too. Give regular yogurt a good stir before measuring to mix in any liquid that has separated.
Homemade garlic butter: I used store-bought garlic butter to keep this a 3-ingredient recipe, but you can make your own instead. Gently warm 4 tablespoons (56 g) butter in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 crushed garlic clove and ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning. If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt. Leave for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. Strain just before using, removing the garlic pieces so they don’t burn when the breadsticks are brushed before going into the oven.
