I absolutely love homemade bread, I decided to try this recipe for Sheet Pan Garlic Breadsticks. Everyone says that they are simple and I am happy to share that they really are!
I get so nervous when it comes to using yeast because I feel like it never turns out right.
I am also not a super patient person, so the long process of waiting for dough to rise before it can bake is not something I want to deal with. Our 30 Minute Dinner Rolls are more my jam- mix them up, toss it in a pan, and bake!
If yeast and homemade bread intimidates you, this is the recipe you need to try!
They only take 45 minutes from start to finish and only have to rise for a few minutes. Homemade bread in a hurry!
Recipe Ingredient Notes

- salt
- flour
- butter
- seasonings
- Parmesan cheese
Equipment Needed
For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment:
How to make Sheet Pan Garlic Breadsticks
- In the bottom of your mixer (I used a KitchenAid mixer), mix together water, sugar, and yeast using your dough hook attachment. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Add in the salt and flour and mix until it’s all incorporated. Mix on high speed for 5 minutes, then let dough sit and rest for 5 more minutes.
- Melt the butter and pour half into the bottom of a large baking sheet (I used a cookie sheet that was 17″x 10″x 1″). Spread the butter around the entire pan using a spatula.
- Place the bread dough in the center of the pan and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Spread the dough out (I just used my hands) to the edges of the pan. Pour the rest of the melted butter on top of the breadsticks and spread evenly using a spatula.
- Sprinkle your favorite seasonings on top. For this, anything goes – I use a combination of my favorite seasonings that I have in my pantry (garlic powder, oregano, thyme).
- Sprinkle your seasonings all over the butter, then top with some fresh shredded Parmesan.
- Using a pizza cutter, cut your dough into small breadsticks (doing this before they cook makes it so easy to cut up after they cook). I did rows of 3 x 12 and got 36 breadsticks. You can make these as long or short as you want.
- Stick these breadsticks in a preheated oven at 170℉ and cook for about 8 minutes (they should rise about an inch during this time). Turn up your oven to 350℉ (while your breadsticks are still in there – they will continue to bake while the oven preheats) and bake breadsticks for 12-15 more minutes or until they start to turn golden.
- Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes, then follow the indentations using a pizza cutter to cut the breadsticks.
Tips for making these Garlic breadsticks:
- To get the right temperature of water, let your tap water run all the way on the hot side for about a minute. If the water is too cold, your dough won’t rise.
- Sometimes it’s hard to use a pizza cutter on the breadsticks that are touching the edge of the pan. If that’s the case for you, feel free to use some kitchen scissors to cut where the pizza cutter can’t reach.
- Fresh shredded Parmesan cheese is my favorite, but you could also use the grated Parmesan cheese that comes in a container.
- Feel free to use fresh herbs to sprinkle on top – they taste delicious!
- Serve this along side our easy Crockpot Spaghetti for a full meal.

Did You Make This Recipe?We’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review or a question in the comment section below the post.
Did you start the 12-15 minutes as soon as you turned the oven up? Or did you start once it was preheated?
Stick these breadsticks in a preheated oven at 170 degrees and cook for about 8 minutes (they should rise about an inch during this time). Turn up your oven to 350 degrees (while your breadsticks are still in there – they will continue to bake while the oven preheats) and bake breadsticks for 12-15 more minutes or until they start to turn golden.
So I tried these last night and even though I read the directions carefully, still wasn’t sure if I should start the timer at the time I turned the heat up or once preheated. So, I set the timer for 12 minutes as soon as I turned the heat up. At 12 minutes they still weren’t done and coincidentally the oven preheated at the same time the 12 minutes were up. So I started the timer over. This time at the second 12 minutes, they were a little too brown on the bottom. Next time I will probably wait for preheat and then bake about 9-10 minutes. I think I also used a pan that was slightly shorter than the author used They overall were good though! I also want to throw in to be a little generous with the garlic powder, since there wasn’t an amount mentioned. I know a little usually goes a long way, so I didn’t use much, but they didn’t have much flavor, so next time I’ll use much more! Overall good and will make them again!
Hello, can you use fresh garlic. Have you tried. Thanks
We have not tried these breadsticks with fresh garlic yet.
Have you tried making the dough in a bread maker machine on dough cycle?
Definitely a hit in this household!! I would have preferred them to be a little less browned on the bottom though. Thinking that next time I might use a silicone mat that has a raised side edge in the pan to contain the bottom layer of butter.
My family loved the breadsticks and be generous with your seasoning on top for a great taste!!!
This was a great concept, but kneading the dough for 5 minutes on high was overkill. I went against my instinct to shut the mixer off after it formed a ball in the bowl, and it resulted in me having to allow the dough to proof for at least 30 minutes until I could work with it. I added some garlic to the melted butter when pouring the rest on top to give it a little more flavor.
My family loves these and I love how easy they are to make. I really like not having to wait for the dough to rise. One thing we do differently, is that I add the seasonings (garlic, basil, oregano, and italian seasoning) with the flour and salt and mix them into the breadstick dough. It helps to give them a more uniform flavor, since I tend not to get the seasonings even when I sprinkle. Then I top with butter and parmesan. Delicious!
Hi!! I just made this and it was delicious! It took mine a little longer but my oven is stupid so I accommodate 😉 I roasted a bulb of garlic in olive oil to smash up and dip the bread in for extra awesomeness. So quick and good and will totally make again!!
Thank you
Would it work to make the breadsticks and stick them in the fridge for a couple of hours and then bake them?
Yes that should be no problem at all
These look very good. Can you make them a day ahead and reheat them the next day
You sure can!
