Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 cup marinara sauce (optional, for dipping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your work surface with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent sticking while working with the dough.
Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangular shape approximately 12 inches by 8 inches.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into 16 strips about ½ inch wide.
To create the bone shapes, take each strip and tie a small knot at each end. If needed, pinch and shape the knots to resemble the ends of a bone.
Place the breadstick bones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl or on the stove, then mix in the garlic powder.
Brush the garlic butter evenly over each breadstick bone.
Bake the breadstick bones in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
While the breadsticks bake, mix the grated Parmesan cheese and dried parsley in a small bowl.
Once out of the oven, immediately sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and parsley mixture over the breadstick bones for added flavor.
Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
