Ingredients

  • 13.8 ounces pizza dough
  • 2-3 Tablespoons butter {melted}
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ Tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 
  • Unroll pizza dough onto a greased cookie sheet.  Combine melted butter, garlic powder and Italian seasoning in a small bowl. 
  • Cover top of dough with butter mixture.  A brush works well but if you don't have one, the back of a spoon works too.  Top butter with shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by Parmesan cheese.  Before baking, cut into 12 sticks. 
  • Bake for 15-17 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is completely melted.  You may have to go over the cut lines one more time to break the melted cheese.  Serve warm.  Store at room temperature in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Customize the cheese with whatever you have on hand and add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture to add a hint of spice. 
  • You may need to go over the cuts you made before you baked the breadsticks one more time, to ensure they pull apart nicely.
  • To reheat leftover cheesy breadsticks, place the breadsticks on a baking sheet and reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes, until warmed through and crispy.
