Easy Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks – Soft and Cheesy
These Easy Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks are soft, fluffy, buttery, and topped with plenty of melted mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. They're simple to make with pantry staples and pair perfectly with pasta, pizza, soups, or your favorite dipping sauces.
Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough – Homemade or store-bought
- 3 tbsp butter – Melted
- 3 cloves garlic – Minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper – Freshly ground
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley – Chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll or stretch the pizza dough into a large rectangle about ½-inch thick and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over the entire surface of the dough.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the dough, then top with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden and the crust is cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
- Slice into breadsticks using a pizza cutter and serve warm with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or garlic butter.
Notes
- Freshly shredded mozzarella melts much better than pre-shredded cheese.
- Let refrigerated dough come to room temperature before rolling for easier handling.
- Add crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat.
- Serve immediately while the cheese is warm and stretchy.
- Leftovers reheat well in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.
