Homemade Breadsticks

Who goes to the Olive Garden just for their breadsticks???  Now you don’t have to… and you’ll probably end up thinking these are better!!!  They take just a lil over an hour from start to finish… I whipped up a Spaghetti dinner while I was working on these… Everything came together all at the same time and we ended up have a great dinner with no complaints!
