1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Optional: Marinara sauce or garlic butter for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle or circle, about ¼-inch thick, and transfer to the baking sheet.
- Season the Dough: Brush the melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle garlic powder evenly on top.
- Add the Cheese and Seasoning: Spread the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the dough. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the cheese.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Slice and Serve: Let the breadsticks cool for 2-3 minutes, then slice into strips and serve with marinara sauce or garlic butter for dipping.
Notes
For a crispy bottom, bake the breadsticks on a pizza stone.
Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or provolone for a flavor twist.
Add red pepper flakes or paprika for a spicy kick.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces such as marinara, garlic butter, or ranch.
