Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 batch pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

Garlic Butter

  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Cheeses

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface into a rectangular shape about 1/2 inch thick, making sure it’s even to ensure consistent baking.
  2. Make the garlic butter: Melt the butter and mix in the finely minced garlic, salt, and pepper. This mixture will coat the breadsticks with rich flavor and a glossy finish once baked.
  3. Brush the dough: Generously brush the garlic butter over the rolled-out dough, ensuring every corner is covered to maximize that irresistible taste.
  4. Add cheese: Sprinkle a blend of shredded mozzarella and parmesan evenly over the dough, creating a delicious cheesy layer that melts beautifully.
  5. Cut and bake: Slice the dough into breadstick-sized strips, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 12-15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  6. Garnish and serve: Once out of the oven, optionally brush lightly with more garlic butter and sprinkle fresh parsley on top. Serve warm and fresh for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature dough for easier rolling and softer texture.
  • Use fresh minced garlic for the best aroma and flavor.
  • Shred your own cheese to improve meltiness and texture.
  • Watch the baking time closely to avoid drying out the breadsticks; look for golden crust and bubbling cheese.
  • Serve breadsticks warm fresh from the oven to enjoy optimal flavor and gooey cheese.
