Ingredients
Pizza Dough
- 10 ounces refrigerated pizza crust (Pillsbury refrigerated pizza dough recommended)
Topping
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for baking the breadsticks.
- Prepare dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough to fit your pizza pan or baking sheet and place it on the pan, creating an even surface for your breadsticks.
- Make garlic butter mixture: In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Microwave this mixture for about 20 seconds or until the butter is fully melted and the garlic is fragrant.
- Apply butter mixture: Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over the surface of the rolled-out pizza dough to infuse it with rich garlic flavor.
- Add cheese toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the dough, followed by the shredded Parmesan cheese to create a cheesy layer.
- Pre-slice dough: Use a knife or pizza cutter to pre-slice the dough into breadstick-sized pieces before baking. This step makes it easier to separate the breadsticks after baking.
- Bake: Place the prepared dough in the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the breadsticks are cooked through and the cheese is browned and bubbly.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute fresh garlic for minced garlic for a more robust flavor.
- You can add red pepper flakes if you like a little heat in your breadsticks.
- To make cleanup easier, line the baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
- Serve warm with marinara or ranch dipping sauce for extra deliciousness.
- This recipe works well with homemade pizza dough if you prefer fresh dough.
