Ingredients

For the Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks:

• 1 (10-ounce) can prepared pizza crust
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1 clove garlic, finely minced
• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon dried basil
• Salt & pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Butter and Garlic Mixture

In a small bowl, mix melted butter and minced garlic together. Set it aside to let the flavors infuse.

Step 3: Prepare the Dough

Unroll the pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the entire surface with the butter and garlic mixture for maximum flavor.

Step 4: Add Cheese and Spices

Evenly sprinkle mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, dried basil, salt, and pepper over the buttered dough.

Step 5: Cut the Dough into Strips

Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into breadstick shapes:

• Cut lengthwise into 7 long strips.
• Cut crosswise into 3 strips.
• Do not separate the strips before baking.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the breadsticks are light golden brown.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Re-cut along the strips and remove from the baking sheet. Serve warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.

Pro Tips for Perfect Breadsticks

• Use freshly grated cheese for better melting and flavor.
