Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 lb pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
Toppings
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
Serving
- Marinara sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Roll out dough: Roll the pizza dough into a rectangular shape on a lightly floured surface for easier handling and even thickness.
- Prepare garlic oil: In a small bowl, combine olive oil and minced garlic to infuse the oil with garlic flavor.
- Brush dough: Evenly brush the garlic-infused olive oil over the entire surface of the rolled-out dough for a rich garlic base.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, dried oregano, garlic powder, and salt evenly over the dough to create a delicious cheesy and herby flavor profile.
- Cut into strips: Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough into strips of desired width to form individual breadsticks.
- Twist and arrange: Twist each strip to add texture and place them onto the prepared baking sheet with enough space between to bake evenly.
- Bake: Bake the twisted breadsticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Serve the warm cheesy breadsticks alongside marinara sauce for dipping, making them perfect for snacking or sharing.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can sprinkle some red pepper flakes before baking for a spicy kick.
- Use fresh pizza dough if possible for the best texture, but store-bought dough works well too.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and crispiness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
