If you are trying to dine in a little more then these cheese breadsticks are a must!! They go perfectly with this Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza or this Creamy Tuscan Chicken.
I don’t know about you but I think it’s hard to beat gooey melty cheese. Especially gooey melty cheese on top of bread! *SWOON* #carbsforlife
Well, maybe it can be beat when dunked into some extra pizza sauce.
I mean, pretty much no other food matters, right?!
Ingredients
- Pizza Dough: Use homemade or store bought. This recipe calls for 1 pound of dough.
- Butter
- Garlic Powder, Oregano, Basil: You could also substitute Italian seasoning for the oregano and basil if you prefer.
- Salt: Just a little bit…..trust me it adds so much flavor. If you are using salted butter you can omit this. I don’t buy salted butter because I like to control the amount of salt I add to food.
- Cheese: I am using mozzarella and parmesan. But feel free to use any great melting cheese.
Easy as 1..2..3
- Shape the breadsticks. You can use a rolling pin or stretch the dough by hand. If you need a little help stretching your dough watch this video on How to Stretch Pizza Dough. I’ll be honest I don’t toss the dough in the air. I stop before that point and use it and it has always turned out fine.
- Top with butter, garlic, cheese, and herbs!
- Bake! I like to bake mine on a baking stone but you can also use a cookie sheet or this pizza pan.
