Recipe:

Ingredients:

1 package of refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade dough)

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (or a mix of oregano and basil)

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Optional: Marinara or ranch sauce for dipping

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle or oval, about ¼-inch thick. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.

Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush the mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.

Add Cheese: Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese generously over the top, ensuring an even layer. Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan for extra flavor.

Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden around the edges.

Slice and Serve: Once baked, allow it to cool slightly. Use a pizza cutter to slice the breadsticks into squares or strips. Serve warm with marinara or ranch dipping sauce on the side.
