Ingredients
  • Pizza dough (My recipe is here.)
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup butter or Margarine
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp basil
  • ½-3/4 tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Make the garlic butter sauce by combining the butter, garlic powder, basil, salt, and ground pepper in a microwave-safe bowl.
  3. Heat in the microwave for 40-60 seconds, or until butter is melted. Stir until well combined. Set aside.
  4. Use a 3-ounce piece of dough to make a standard pizzeria-size (approx. 10") Cheese Breadstick batch. If desired, you can make them the same size as a pizza...whatever makes you happy.
  5. Roll the dough out to a 10-inch size. Transfer the dough to parchment paper or whatever pan you plan to bake it on.
  6. Use forks to poke holes all over the rolled-out dough. This helps the dough not get bubbles when cooking.
  7. Next, use a pastry brush to generously brush the dough with the garlic-butter sauce you made. Now top with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and then a generous amount of mozzarella cheese. At the pizza shop I worked at, we would put 3-4 ounces of grated mozzarella on each order of cheese breadsticks.
  8. Bake for 7-10 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and browning. Remove from oven and slice. Serve with pizza sauce and/or ranch dressing for dipping.
