Ingredients

  • 13.8 ounce refrigerated pizza dough
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: On a large cutting board, roll out the pizza dough into an approximately 9×13 inch rectangle. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 12 equal strips.
  3. Step 3: Place the dough strips on the prepared baking sheet about an inch apart. Bake for 7 minutes, or until just golden.
  4. Step 4: While the breadsticks bake, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and salt in a small bowl.
  5. Step 5: Remove the breadsticks from the oven and immediately brush generously with the garlic butter mixture.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle the breadsticks with grated Parmesan cheese and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture.
  • You can substitute shredded mozzarella for Parmesan if you prefer a milder cheese topping.
  • If you like a richer taste, brush the breadsticks with melted garlic butter twice—once right after baking and again before serving.

Storage

Store leftover breadsticks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them in the oven at 300°F for 5–7 minutes until heated through and crisp. Avoid microwaving to maintain their texture.

How to Serve

Topping

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

For Serving

  • Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking, setting it aside until needed.

  3. Arrange and Bake: Transfer the dough strips to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart to allow for expansion. Bake for 7 minutes or until the breadsticks are just turning golden.
  4. Make Garlic Butter: While the breadsticks are baking, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and salt in a small bowl, stirring to evenly mix the flavors.
  5. Brush Breadsticks: Remove the hot breadsticks from the oven and immediately brush each one generously with the garlic butter mixture, allowing the flavors to soak in.
  6. Add Cheese and Serve: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the brushed breadsticks while still warm. Serve immediately with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Using refrigerated pizza dough makes this recipe quick and foolproof, but for a homemade touch, you can prepare your own dough.
  • Make sure to brush the breadsticks as soon as they come out of the oven to allow the butter and seasoning to absorb better.
  • For a cheesier version, sprinkle shredded mozzarella along with Parmesan before serving.
  • These breadsticks are best enjoyed warm but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes to restore freshness.
