Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
Prepare Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. For thicker breadsticks, aim for about 1/2 inch; for thinner ones, flatten slightly.
Cut Dough: Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice the dough into approximately 1-inch-wide strips.
Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Coat Dough: Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over the surfaces of the dough strips.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough strips, followed by the grated Parmesan.
Optional Seasoning: For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle dried oregano over the cheese.
Shape Breadsticks: Carefully twist each strip of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there’s some space between each breadstick.
Bake: Reduce the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Bake the breadsticks for 12 to 15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Allow the breadsticks to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm, optionally paired with marinara sauce for dipping.
