Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks
Ingredients:
- 1 pound pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or a blend of melting cheeses)
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Spread this mixture evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese over the buttered dough.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden brown.
- Allow the breadsticks to cool slightly, then use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut them into sticks.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
Tips and Variations:
- For a milder version, omit the garlic and use only butter and cheese.
- Layer provolone or gouda cheese between the dough and mozzarella for extra cheesiness.
- Add chili flakes for a spicy kick before baking.
- Use gluten-free dough or vegan cheese for dietary restrictions.
- Substitute minced garlic with garlic powder or jarred minced garlic for convenience.
