Parmesan, Roasted Garlic, and Basil Breadsticks

I wanted to make some breadsticks to go with the Italian Meatball Soup that I made for dinner. I found a recipe on Allrecipes that looked easy and had great reviews. I adapted the recipe a bit by using a head of roasted garlic instead of garlic powder. The breadsticks were simple to make and turned out really soft and delicious – perfect for dipping in our soup.

How to Make Parmesan, Roasted Garlic, and Basil Breadsticks

Roast the garlic then let cool. Once the garlic is cool, remove each clove from the peeling and chop.

Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 40 minutes).
