Homemade Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks
Better than takeout! These easy, cheesy garlic breadsticks use refrigerated dough for a 15 minute shortcut to crispy, gooey perfection. Perfect for pizza night!
Ingredients
- 1 13.8 oz tube refrigerated pizza crust dough
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 1 large clove garlic pressed or finely minced
- 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese shredded (more if desired)
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Press or roll it into a rectangle roughly 1/4 inch thick.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and minced garlic. Brush this mixture evenly over the entire surface of the dough.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered dough. Sprinkle with dried oregano, if using.
- Before baking, use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into 16 equal sized breadstick strips. Do not separate them.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly spotted with gold.
- Remove from oven and immediately re cut along the lines to separate the breadsticks. Serve warm.
Notes
- For Extra Cheese: Feel free to use up to 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella.
- Herb Swap: Dried basil or parsley can replace the oregano.
- Storage: Best fresh. Reheat leftovers in a 350°F oven for 5-8 minutes to restore crispness.
