Ingredients

Pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)

4. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic and Italian seasoning.
5. Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over the surface of the dough.
6. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
7. Optionally, add more herbs or seasonings like garlic powder for extra flavor.
8. Use a pizza cutter or knife to lightly score the dough into strips for easy serving.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

11. Cut along the scored lines into breadsticks.
12. Serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
13. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
14. Reheat leftover breadsticks in the oven or air fryer for a crispy texture.

16. To make ahead, assemble the breadsticks and freeze before baking.
17. Enjoy as an appetizer, side dish, or snack!

Notes

Brushing the dough with garlic butter before adding cheese gives the breadsticks a rich and flavorful taste.

Cutting the dough into strips before baking makes serving easier and helps each piece bake evenly.

Sprinkling cornmeal on the baking sheet adds a slight crunch to the bottom of the breadsticks.
