What do I need?
- Water
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- Salt
- 3 cups bread flour
- Sugar
- Italian seasoning
- Garlic powder
- Active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted, for brushing

In your bread machine, add the ingredients as the manufacture states, but remember that the last 1 tablespoon of butter is for the final step. Next you’ll select the dough setting. Once your dough setting completed, remove your machine and place it on your floured surface. Divide your dough in half, then divide it again into 12 equal portions. You’ll now have 24 equal portions overall.
Roll each dough portion into a 4-6 inch rope shape and place on your baking sheets. Cover them to let the rest and rise in a warm kitchen corner until they double in size.
Bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown. They will smell so yummy! Now take them from your oven and brush them with your melted butter! So easy!
How to Make-Ahead and Freeze Large Family Bread Sticks
You can fully bake these rolls ahead of time and freeze them, or you can make the dough and freeze it so you can bake them fresh at a later time. There are lots of options! If you want to freeze or refrigerate them before baking them, these rolls can be refrigerated or frozen prior to the final rise.
