Scale
Dough
- 1 batch pizza dough (about 1 lb)
Toppings
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Roll or stretch the pizza dough into a rectangular or oval shape on a greased baking sheet or pizza stone, ensuring it is evenly flattened.
- Make garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter and minced garlic, mixing well to distribute the garlic flavor.
- Top the dough: Brush the garlic butter evenly over the surface of the dough, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the breadsticks for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust turns golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing into breadsticks. Serve warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or dried Italian herbs on top before baking.
- You can use store-bought or homemade pizza dough depending on your preference.
- Serve with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
- Adjust the amount of garlic butter according to taste.
- Ensure the oven is fully preheated for best crust texture.
