Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound pizza dough Let sit at room temperature for easier handling.
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted) For brushing the breadsticks.
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese For topping.
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese For topping.
  • 1 batch Marinara sauce For dipping.
For Dusting
  • All-purpose flour For dusting the surface.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Dust your surface with flour and divide the pizza dough into 10 equal pieces.
  3. Roll each piece into an 8-inch long rope, making the ends slightly thicker to resemble bones. Snip each end about 1 inch deep and gently pull apart.
Baking
  1. Place the shaped breadsticks on the lined baking sheets, leaving space between them.
  2. Brush melted butter over each breadstick and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
  3. Bake for 15 minutes until they puff and turn light golden.
  4. Remove from the oven and sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top. Return to the oven for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving
  1. Let cool slightly before serving warm with marinara sauce.

Notes

If you have any leftovers, let them cool completely first. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in oven for a few minutes to restore crispness.
