Heat: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). A hot oven ensures the breadsticks bake evenly and become perfectly crispy.
Prepare the Pizza Crust:
2. Ready the Crust
Arrange: Unroll the tube of refrigerated pizza crust onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy.
Add Garlic Butter:
3. Mix the Butter and Garlic
Combine: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the crushed garlic. This mixture will infuse the crust with a rich, garlicky flavor.
4. Spread the Garlic Butter
Brush: Evenly spread the garlic butter mixture over the entire surface of the pizza crust using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon.
Top with Cheese:
5. Add the Cheese
Sprinkle: Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese over the buttered crust, ensuring an even layer for maximum cheesiness.
6. Season with Oregano
Optional: If desired, evenly sprinkle dried oregano leaves over the top for added flavor and a touch of color.
Pre-Cut the Breadsticks:
7. Cut the Dough
Slice: Before baking, use a pizza cutter or a large knife to cut the cheese-covered pizza crust into 16 equal rectangles. Pre-cutting makes it easier to serve once baked.
Bake to Perfection:
8. Bake the Breadsticks
Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden, and the crust is crisp.
Final Touches:
9. Cut and Serve
Serve: Remove the breadsticks from the oven and cut along the pre-scored lines again to separate the sticks. Serve hot and enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness!
