Ingredients You’ll Need

1 cup plain Greek yogurt: This is the base of our dough, adding moisture and protein. For a lighter twist, you can use low-fat Greek yogurt.
1 cup self-rising flour: Key to making these breadsticks rise beautifully. If you don’t have any, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt.
2 tablespoons melted butter: Brushed on for richness and a golden finish. You can substitute with olive oil for a healthier option.
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder: Adds that essential garlic punch. Fresh garlic could work too if you prefer a stronger flavor.
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning: Enhances flavor with a blend of dried herbs. Feel free to use your favorite herb mix or even fresh herbs if you have them on hand.
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese: This gives a salty, nutty flavor to the breadsticks. Other cheeses like Pecorino Romano could be substituted for a different taste.
Optional: pinch of salt: Depending on your taste preference. If you’re using salted butter, you might not need this.

How to Make 2 Ingredient Garlic Parmesan Breadsticks

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to make clean-up easier and prevent sticking.
Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt with 1 cup of self-rising flour. Stir until a shaggy dough forms—this will take a moment, so don’t rush it.
Knead the dough: Transfer the shaggy dough to a floured surface. Knead it for about 1–2 minutes until it becomes smooth—this is your workout for the day!
Shape the breadsticks: Divide the dough into 12 small portions. Roll each portion into long, thin shapes resembling classic breadsticks—about 6 inches long works well.
Arrange on the baking sheet: Place the shaped breadsticks evenly spaced on your prepared baking sheet. This allows for even cooking, and they won’t stick together.
Prepare the garlic topping: In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. This is the magic touch!
Brush and sprinkle: Using a pastry brush, baste the garlic butter mixture generously over the breadsticks. Finally, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese for that savory flavor.
Bake to perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and aromatic. You’ll know it’s done when the edges are just crispy.
Serve warm: Once baked, allow the breadsticks to cool slightly before serving. Pair them with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for an extra treat.

Storing & Reheating

To store your delicious breadsticks, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to extend the freshness, refrigerate them for up to one week. For longer storage, you can freeze the breadsticks in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply bake them at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to reheat, although the texture may be softer compared to fresh ones. A quick brush of melted butter can help revive their flavor!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

The dough can be sticky, so if it’s too wet, sprinkle a little more flour while kneading to get the right consistency.
Make sure your butter is melted but not hot, as this could affect the dough’s texture.
If you’re looking for a little kick, consider adding red pepper flakes to your garlic butter mixture for some added spice.
Knead the dough just until smooth to avoid overworking it, which can result in tougher breadsticks.
You can prep the dough ahead of time and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours for a quick dinner fix later on.

These breadsticks are such a versatile and delightful addition to any meal, and can easily adapt to suit your taste preferences. They are utterly delicious fresh out of the oven, and I encourage you to experiment with different seasonings or cheeses!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Absolutely! Regular yogurt will work, but keep in mind that the texture may be slightly different; Greek yogurt gives a thicker, richer dough.

How can I make these Gluten-Free?

You can use a gluten-free self-rising flour blend as a substitute for the regular flour. Just make sure the other ingredients (like the Greek yogurt) are also gluten-free to maintain that quality.

How do I make these breadsticks cheesy?

For extra cheesiness, try mixing more grated cheese into the dough while kneading and you can also top them with extra cheese before baking. Just make sure to adjust the baking time slightly for golden perfection.

What can I serve with these breadsticks?

These Garlic Parmesan Breadsticks pair perfectly with marinara or pesto sauce, making them great for dipping. They also complement pasta, salad, or hearty soups beautifully—just about anything your heart desires!

Give these 2 Ingredient Garlic Parmesan Breadsticks a try—they’ll add an irresistible touch to any dinner table, plus they’re simple enough to whip up for impromptu gatherings. Enjoy the aroma as they bake, and watch the smiles on everyone’s faces when they take that first bite!
