Description

Quick and versatile cheesy breadsticks made with pizza dough, brushed with garlic butter, and topped with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Baked until golden and bubbly, they make a perfect appetizer or side.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for coating the baking sheet)
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning, divided
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 500 °F and position oven rack at the lowest level.
  2. Roll pizza dough into a 14×10 inch rectangle on parchment paper with a light dusting of flour. Transfer to an oiled rimmed baking sheet and pat to size.
  3. Combine melted butter and minced garlic; spread evenly over the dough.
  4. Sprinkle half of the Italian seasoning and salt over the dough. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan. Finish with remaining seasoning.
  5. Bake for about 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and golden. Let rest for a minute or two.
  6. Slice into 18 breadsticks using a pizza cutter (6 across by 3 down).

Notes

  • Store-bought dough can be used as a time-saver.
  • Try cheese variations like Colby Jack or Pepper Jack.
  • Fresh herbs or garlic herb seasoning add extra flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
  • Reheat in toaster oven to retain crispiness.
