Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Rolling Pin
- Pizza Cutter
Ingredients
- 1 recipe Homemade Pizza Crust
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, or as needed to coat baking sheet
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning, divided
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan
Instructions
- Move oven rack to lowest position and preheat oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper on top of a cutting board or other surface. Place the pizza dough in the center and sprinkle it with a little flour. Use a rolling pin to roll the pizza crust out to a 14- x 10-inch rectangle.
- Drizzle a large rimmed baking sheet with about 2 teaspoons olive oil and spread it around. Peel the dough off the parchment paper and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Pat and push the dough back into shape (approximately 14- x 10-inches).
- Combine melted butter and minced garlic. Pour it over the dough and spread it out. Sprinkle evenly with ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt, shredded mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the remaining Italian seasoning evenly over the top of the cheese.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for a minute or two before using a pizza cutter to slice it into 18 strips (I sliced it 6x lengthwise and 3x crosswise).
Notes
These cheesy breadsticks are best served warm and fresh from the oven. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, but they are best enjoyed on the day they are made.
