Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare the dough:
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared baking sheet.
Make the garlic butter:
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with minced garlic, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush the garlic butter evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Add the cheese:
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with a little salt and pepper to taste.
Bake:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown on the edges.
Slice and serve:
Remove the cheesy breadsticks from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice the bread into sticks or squares.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
Serve with dipping sauce:
Serve the cheesy breadsticks warm, with a side of marinara sauce for dipping if you like.
Notes:
Crust Options: If you prefer a crispier crust, bake the dough for a few minutes before adding the garlic butter and cheese.
Cheese Variations: Feel free to use a mix of cheeses like cheddar, provolone, or gouda for added flavor.
These cheesy garlic breadsticks are sure to be a hit at any gathering or as a comforting snack. Enjoy!
