Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Prepared pizza dough | 1 package (10 ounces) |
| Melted butter | 1 tablespoon |
| Garlic, finely chopped | 1 clove |
| Grated mozzarella cheese | ½ cup |
| Parmesan cheese | 1 tablespoon |
| Dried basil | 1 tablespoon |
| Salt | As needed |
| Pepper | As needed |
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dough
Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Make Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the finely chopped garlic. Brush this mixture evenly over the surface of the dough.
3. Add Cheese and Seasoning
Evenly sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the buttered dough. Top with dried basil, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Slice into Breadsticks
Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough lengthwise into about 7 long strips and then crosswise into 3 shorter sections. Keep the cut dough intact on the baking sheet—do not separate the strips.
5. Bake
Place in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the breadsticks are lightly golden and the cheese is bubbling.
6. Finish and Serve
Remove from the oven. While still warm, gently roll along the cuts to slightly separate the strips, then lift them from the parchment paper.
Serve hot with marinara sauce or your favorite dip. Enjoy!
