🧄🥖 Garlic Breadsticks with Cream Cheese Dip
“Warning: may cause breadstick sword fights and dip addiction.”

🥖 Breadstick Ingredients (Makes about 12 stick-tacular wonders)
• 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
• 1 ½ cups warm water
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 3–3½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp melted butter
• 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
• Optional: parsley flakes, parmesan for topping
Joke break:
Why did the breadstick go to therapy?
It had too many layers of garlic trauma. 🧄😂

🧈 Cream Cheese Dip Ingredients
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp milk (or more, to thin)
• 1 garlic clove, grated (just to say “I’m here”)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: chives, shredded cheddar, or chili flakes if you’re feelin’ spicy

🔥 Breadstick Instructions

  1. Activate your yeast-y beast
    In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes till it’s foamy like a latte with ambition.
  2. Mix it up
    Add salt, olive oil, and flour one cup at a time. Mix and knead until smooth and stretchy. About 6–8 minutes of dough yoga.
  3. Let it rise like drama on reality TV
    Cover and let it rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour until doubled in size.
  4. Roll & slice
    Roll dough into a rectangle, about ½ inch thick. Slice into sticks and twist if you’re fancy. Place on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Garlic glam-up
    Mix melted butter with minced garlic. Brush it alllll over those bad boys. Top with parsley or parmesan if you wanna dazzle.
  6. Bake like a boss
    Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and irresistible.

Joke break:
Why didn’t the breadstick hang out with the baguette?
Too crusty for its soft, buttery heart. 💔😂

🍶 Dip Instructions

  1. Mix softened cream cheese, sour cream, milk, and garlic until smooth and creamy.
  2. Season with salt, pepper, and any bonus flavor friends (chives, cheddar, chili).
  3. Chill or serve warm, it slaps either way.

🧄💥 Serve With:
• Your garlic breadsticks (obviously)
• A side of sass
• That movie night you keep postponing

Final Punchline:
What did the breadstick say after trying the cream cheese dip?
“I could dip into this lifestyle forever.” 😎🧄🥖
