Description

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

13.8 ounce refrigerated pizza dough

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

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking, setting it aside until needed.
Prepare Dough: On a large cutting board, roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into an approximately 9×13-inch rectangle, ensuring even thickness for consistent baking. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 12 equal strips.
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.
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.
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.
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.
