Ingredients
1 pound of pizza dough, either handmade or purchased
2-tbsp melted unsalted butter
2 minced garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon of salt
one-fourth of a teaspoon of pepper
One cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded
a quarter cup of Parmesan cheese, grated
One teaspoon of dried oregano, if desired
If desired, serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
Preparation
Get the oven ready: Set the oven temperature to 425°F, or 220°C. Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the dough: Flatten the pizza dough to the thickness you like on a board dusted with flour. Roll it out to a thickness of around 1/2 inch if you desire breadsticks that are thicker. Flatten the dough slightly to get thinner breadsticks.
Dividing into sticks: To make the dough strips, use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife and cut them approximately 1 inch wide.
Get the garlic butter ready with: Put the melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into a small bowl and stir to combine.
The dough should be brushed: Spread the garlic butter mixture over the dough strips’ surfaces.
For the cheese topping, evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough strips. Next, finish by topping with grated Parmesan.
Season: If you want to add a little more flavor to the cheese, you may sprinkle some dried oregano on top.
Carefully twist each strip of dough and arrange them on the baking sheet that has been prepared, making sure to leave some space between each breadstick.
Prep the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the breadsticks for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they get a golden brown color and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
After a few minutes of cooling, serve the breadsticks straight from the oven. If preferred, serve warm and dip with marinara sauce.
These Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks are really mouthwatering.
