Olive Garden Bread Sticks
Breadsticks from
Olive Garden are buttery, chock
full of herbs and delicious. Make
these at home. They'll be a perfect
addition to your next pasta dish, or to serve
alongside a beautiful salad.
Yields : 8
Preparation Time: 2 hr
Cooking Time: 25 min
Ingredients
1 loaf of frozen bread dough,
thawed and at room temperature
Pam spray
Garlic powder, to taste
Oregano, dried, to taste
1.
When dough is soft enough to
knead, spray your fingers with Pam
or oil and knead just until you can
shape into cigar-size pieces (about
8 to 10). Place these 3 inches apart
on Pam-sprayed cookie sheets.
2.
Let rise in a warm place
until doubled - about 1 1/2 to 2
hours.
3.
Holding Pam about 8 inches
from sticks, lightly spray top of
each and then dust with garlic
powder and oregano.
4.
Bake at 375 degrees F about
20 to 25 minutes or until golden
brown. Cool in pan on rack to serve
within a day or two.

How to Make Sauces Step 1
– After cooking the meat (roast, chicken, turkey or
whatever it is) remove the meat and use a ladle or
strainer and transfer the cooking liquid into a
measuring cup ( I use a glass 4-cup one). Let the
cooking liquid stand for about 5 minutes. You will see
the fat raise to the top, skim that off and toss it, the
fat that is. Take note of amount left in the measuring
cup once the fat has been removed.
* Step 2 – Pour the cooking liquid into a sauce pan and
start heating over medium heat. For each cup of cooking
liquid (the remaining amount you took note of in step
one), mix 2 tbsp of all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup of
cold water until smooth. (trick I put the flour and
water in one of those small Ziploc containers and shake
like crazy)
* Step 3 – Stir flour mixture into boiling cooking
liquid, stirring constantly 1 minute or until thickened.
So there it is, that’s how I make gravy. It’s simple and
quick. But wait one more thing, if you have a big family
like mine, sometimes the cooking liquid will not make
enough gravy for everyone. No worries- add canned broth*
to the measuring cup with the cooking liquid, but
remember to take note of the amount for proper measuring
of the flour mixture.
*Hot water can also be used in place of the canned broth
but you will need to add seasoning like salt and pepper.
If not it will taste like homemade flour gravy – trust
me it’s not good!
Oh and if you burn the gravy – like I have so many times, I can help with
that too. Click the link for a list of quick and easy

retailers will also give you a refund if
the price of the item drops at their own
stores.) Some stores, including Sears,
Home Depot, and Lowe’s, will even beat
a competitor’s price by 10 percent. Just
be sure to act fast; many policies limit
refunds to seven to 14 days. And read

Another way to get the lower price is
simply to return the item and rebuy it,
