Scale
Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the breadsticks to a golden crisp.
- Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough until it reaches about 1/2 inch thickness, creating a sturdy base for the breadsticks.
- Add Cheese Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the surface of the dough, followed by the grated parmesan cheese to add rich, cheesy flavor.
- Season: Lightly dust the cheese-covered dough with garlic powder to infuse a savory garlic aroma and taste.
- Cut Breadsticks: Cut the dough into strips approximately 1 inch wide for perfect breadstick sizes.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the breadstick strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking, then brush lightly with olive oil to promote browning and add a subtle richness.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the breadsticks are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle some dried Italian herbs or red pepper flakes before baking.
- Serve warm with marinara or ranch dipping sauce for added enjoyment.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture.
- You can substitute cheddar with mozzarella for a different cheesy twist.
