Quick Garlic Breadsticks
Equipment
- 1 Baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper sheet
- 1 Small saucepan
- 1 pastry brush
- 1 knife or pizza cutter
- 1 Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated pizza dough
- 3 tablespoon butter melted
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese optional
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet and gently stretch it into a rectangle.
- In a small saucepan, combine melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and dried parsley, then warm over low heat for 1–2 minutes, stirring.
- Brush half of the garlic butter mixture evenly over the surface of the dough.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella evenly over the dough.
- Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into strips about 1 inch wide.
- Gently separate the strips slightly so they have a little space between them for baking.
- Brush the tops of the strips with the remaining garlic butter mixture.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the breadsticks are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if using, and serve warm.
Notes
For best flavor, let the garlic butter sit a few minutes before brushing so the garlic infuses the fat, and be careful not to burn the garlic when warming it or it will taste bitter. If you prefer softer breadsticks, pull them from the oven when just lightly golden; for crisper ones, leave them in an extra 2–3 minutes while watching closely. These breadsticks are excellent served with warm marinara, ranch, or a simple olive oil and balsamic dip, and you can easily adjust the seasoning by adding a pinch of crushed red pepper for heat or extra Parmesan for richness.
