Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 lb pizza dough
Garlic Butter Topping
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the breadsticks evenly.
- Roll Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle shape for easy cutting and twisting.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic until well mixed to create a flavorful brush-on topping.
- Brush Dough: Evenly brush the garlic butter mixture over the entire surface of the rolled dough to infuse garlic flavor.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil evenly across the dough to add seasoning and aroma.
- Cut and Twist: Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into strips and twist each strip to form individual breadsticks, enhancing texture and appearance.
- Arrange Breadsticks: Place the twisted breadsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring enough space between each for even baking.
- Bake: Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the breadsticks warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- For a softer texture, cover the breadsticks with a clean towel right after baking to retain moisture.
- These breadsticks can be customized by adding other herbs or sprinkling some red pepper flakes for a slight kick.
- Leftover breadsticks can be reheated in the oven to restore crispiness.
