Ingredients

Scale

Dough and Sauce

  • 1 package refrigerated pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce

Cheese and Toppings

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices (optional)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Seasoning and Finishes

  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking your breadsticks to a golden crisp.
  2. Roll Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a rectangle shape, which will serve as the base for your breadsticks.
  3. Spread Sauce: Evenly spread the marinara sauce over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges to prevent sauce from spilling during rolling.
  4. Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. If you’re using pepperoni, layer it on top of the cheese for extra flavor.
  5. Season and Top: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning and the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top for added aroma and taste.
  6. Roll and Slice: Carefully roll the dough tightly from one end to the other, creating a log. Then slice the log into 1-inch thick pieces to form individual breadsticks.
  7. Prepare for Baking: Place the sliced breadsticks upright on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them slightly apart.
  8. Drizzle and Season: Drizzle the breadsticks with olive oil and sprinkle additional Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese on top to enhance flavor and browning.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the breadsticks turn golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  10. Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • You can customize these breadsticks by adding vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms, or olives.
  • For a meat lover’s version, add sausage, bacon, or ham along with or instead of pepperoni.
  • Use whole-wheat pizza dough to increase fiber and make the dish healthier.
  • To reheat leftovers, warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes to maintain crispiness.
  • Unbaked, sliced breadsticks can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours or frozen up to 2-3 months.
  • For a different cheese flavor, try blending mozzarella with provolone or cheddar.
  • Serve with a side salad or fresh vegetables to balance the meal nutritionally.
