How to Make Homemade Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks
-
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will make clean-up a breeze!
-
Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic and set aside. This garlic butter will coat your breadsticks for that perfect savory flavor.
-
Prepare the Dough: Unroll the pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the dough evenly with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring every part gets that delicious flavor.
-
Add the Cheese and Seasonings: Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, and dried basil evenly over the dough. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Cut into Sticks: Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into stick shapes. Cut lengthwise into 7 long strips and crosswise into 3 strips. Be sure not to separate the strips yet—this will help the breadsticks stay together while baking.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the breadsticks turn a light golden brown.
-
Cut and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and immediately recut along each strip. Serve warm, with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, if desired. 🍅
