Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) pizza dough
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 400F (200C) and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal preparation.
- Stretch the pizza dough into a uniform rectangular shape, positioning it carefully on the prepared baking surface.
- Create a fragrant garlic butter mixture by combining melted butter with finely chopped garlic, then distribute evenly across the entire dough surface.
- Generously scatter mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the dough, followed by a balanced sprinkle of Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and cracked black pepper.
- Transfer the prepared dough into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and the cheese becomes beautifully melted and slightly bubbling.
- Extract the baked breadsticks from the oven and enhance their visual appeal by delicately garnishing with freshly chopped parsley.
- Slice the baked dough into elegant, uniform breadstick portions and serve immediately while still warm for maximum flavor and texture enjoyment.
Notes
- Ensure dough is at room temperature for easier rolling and better texture.
- Brush garlic butter generously but avoid soaking the dough to prevent soggy results.
- Grate cheese fresh for maximum melting quality and richer flavor profile.
- Experiment with different cheese blends like cheddar or provolone for unique taste variations.
