Cheese Breadsticks Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 pound (550g) pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups (225g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 cup (40g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet, pizza stone, or pizza pan, and set it aside.
  2. Prepare the Dough:
    • Roll or stretch the pizza dough into a 12×10-inch rectangle. Don’t worry about making it perfect—just aim for an even thickness.
  3. Add the Toppings:
    • Combine the melted butter and garlic powder in a small bowl. Brush this mixture evenly over the shaped dough.
    • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, dried basil, dried oregano, and salt (if using) over the dough.
  4. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
  5. Serve:
    • Once baked, slice the bread into breadsticks and serve warm. Enjoy with pizza sauce for dipping, if desired.
