Our Traeger Garlic Bread Sticks are so soft, garlicky, and the perfect way to enjoy fresh homemade bread at home! These get that incredible pizzeria-like texture by grilling them on our pellet grill, but you can bake them in the oven if you don’t have a grill handy!

Homemade Garlic Bread Sticks Recipe

Grilling them gave them the best texture and flavor. Nice soft middle, chewy outside, and all of it slathered in roasted garlic butter. These do take a little time and effort to get to the finish line, but the end result is more than worth the effort.

Our homemade bread sticks are a perfect blend of roasted garlic and the comforting texture of freshly baked bread. This recipe transforms simple ingredients into an irresistible side dish that complements any meal. Made with a homemade dough that’s enriched with milk, sugar, and olive oil, and flavored with roasted garlic, these bread sticks are wood fired and one of my favorite things. Topped with a savory garlic butter that melts into each bite, they’re a must-try for garlic lovers.

These garlic bread sticks are more than just a side; they’re a highlight on any table. The recipe leverages the Traeger grill’s ability to bake with a distinctive wood-fired flavor that you can’t mimic any other way. The roasted garlic within the dough and in the garlic butter adds depth and warmth, making each bread stick a super flavorful. Here’s why they’re worth making:

Tips for Incredible Homemade Bread Sticks

Roast the garlic in your smoker

Roast your own garlic for this by slicing off the top of a head of garlic, drizzling with a few tablespoons of olive oil, wrapping in foil, and then grilling it at 325°F for about 45-55 minutes. After it is cooled, squeeze the garlic out of the cloves, and try not to eat too many fresh out of the oven.

Then chop up and mix 4 or 5 of those right into your bread dough. OMGOSH.

Easily transfer your breadsticks to the baking stone

Easily transfer your breadsticks from the counter to the pizza stone on your grill by putting down a layer of nonstick foil on your baking sheet when the breadsticks rise, and then slide the foil right onto the baking stone. Perfect!

You can never have enough garlic parm butter

When I say to paint the breadsticks liberally with your garlic butter mixture, I really mean DRENCH the breadsticks in butter. Then wait a few minutes and paint them again.
