Braided Garlic Sticks
I can never resist a warm yeasted bread or pastry, I’m an addict. If you give me a yeasted baked good, I’ll be your friend for life.
Now picture these braided garlic sticks as soon as they come out of the oven. Brush them generously with garlic, the aroma wafting through the air. The sticks are warm and soft, and so delicious. I was hooked and I make these over and over again, they’re a huge hit in my house.
