Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pizza dough
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups Marinara or pizza sauce
- 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangular shape, approximately 10x14 inches.
Brush 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the surface of the dough.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Fold the dough in half widthwise so that it sandwiches the cheese inside.
Gently press down with your hands to seal the edges and flatten slightly.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into 1-inch wide strips.
Twist each strip and place onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.
Brush the seasoned butter mixture over the twisted dough sticks.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
While the breadsticks are baking, warm the marinara or pizza sauce in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave.
Once the breadsticks are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and color.
Serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
