- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the breadsticks to crispy perfection.
- Roll Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangular shape to form the base for the breadsticks.
- Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with minced garlic to create a flavorful coating.
- Brush Dough: Evenly brush the garlic butter mixture over the rolled-out dough to infuse it with garlic flavor.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil evenly over the buttered dough to enhance taste and aroma.
- Cut and Twist: Slice the dough into strips and twist each strip gently to form the individual breadsticks.
- Prepare for Baking: Arrange the twisted breadsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced to bake evenly.
- Bake Breadsticks: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the breadsticks turn golden brown and have a crispy exterior.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm to enjoy the full flavor and soft texture of the breadsticks.
Notes
- You can substitute dried herbs with fresh herbs for a more vibrant flavor.
- For a cheesier version, sprinkle extra Parmesan or mozzarella before baking.
- These breadsticks can be served with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
- Store leftover breadsticks in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to retain crispiness.
- If using store-bought dough, allow it to come to room temperature for easier handling.
