Easy Italian Garlic Breadsticks
Keto Italian Garlic Breadsticks with Easy Dipping Sauce
The breadsticks begin with a double batch of Maya’s easy fathead dough recipe (that was my mistake the first batch . I didn’t double it). Honestly, this was my first time ever making fathead dough, since I don’t eat dairy, and even though it was delicious, it wasn’t as easy to make as I thought. Reason being . I tried to make it by hand.
So learn from me, all you new-to-fathead-dough-ers. USE A MIXER. For the love of breadsticks, use a mixer. If you do you will be rewarded with some gorgeous, pliable, delicious dough. Instead of some lumpy, dry in some places, dough. :)
A delicious addition.
After figuring out the fathead dough, the breadsticks came together easily and beautifully and were “just like normal,” according to my family. :) Serving them was like being in an Italian restaurant and getting those amazing never ending breadsticks that make you forget what you ordered cause all you care about is breadsticks.
Of course at restaurants you get a nice dipping sauce with your breadsticks, so I had to whip up one of those too. It was super simple to do, and a wonderful way to add a fun pop of flavor to the breadsticks (not that they don’t have flavor on their own, of course).
In the recipe card I’ve linked to some of the products from my affiliate partners that I like to use. Purchasing through these links won’t cost you anything extra. Thanks!

Put on the paddle attachment and mix until a uniform dough forms.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes, until it’s not too sticky to work with.
