Ingredients
Ingredients
- 10 ounces refrigerated pizza crust (such as Pillsbury refrigerated pizza dough)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the breadsticks evenly and getting the cheese bubbly and browned.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough so it fits your pizza pan or baking sheet. Place the dough on the pan, shaping it evenly for uniform cooking.
- Make Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Microwave the mixture for about 20 seconds or until completely melted and fragrant.
- Brush Dough: Use a brush to evenly coat the rolled-out dough with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring the flavors soak into the surface of the breadsticks.
- Add Cheese Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, followed by a generous dusting of shredded Parmesan cheese for an extra cheesy and savory flavor.
- Pre-slice Dough: Before baking, use a pizza cutter or knife to slice the dough into breadstick-sized strips to make serving easy once baked.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake the breadsticks for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through and the cheese is nicely browned and bubbly.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes on top before baking.
- If you want them crispier, bake a couple of minutes longer but watch closely to prevent burning.
- Serve warm with marinara or your favorite dipping sauce for the best experience.
- Make sure to pre-slice the breadsticks before baking to make cutting easier after baking.
- The recipe can be doubled easily to serve a larger group.
