Easy cheesy breadsticks are a delicious and simple snack or side dish that’s perfect for dipping in marinara sauce, cheese sauce, or enjoying on their own. Here’s a straightforward recipe to make them:Ingredients:
For the Dough:
- 1 pound (about 3 1/4 cups) pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
- All-purpose flour (for dusting)
For the Topping:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Cheese:
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
- On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle or square, about 1/2 inch thick. You can also do this directly on a sheet of parchment paper to make it easier to transfer to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt.
- Brush the butter and seasoning mixture evenly over the surface of the rolled-out dough.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Roll up the dough tightly, starting from one end and rolling to the other, to form a log. Pinch the seams to seal.
- Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone, seam side down.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the rolled dough.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
- Remove the cheesy breadsticks from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Slice the breadstick log into individual breadsticks, and serve them while they are still warm.
You can serve these cheesy breadsticks with your favorite dipping sauces, such as marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or garlic butter. They make a great appetizer or side dish for pizza night or any casual gathering. Enjoy your homemade cheesy breadsticks!
