Homemade Cheesy Breadsticks that are just as good as your favorite pizza place! Use homemade or store-bought pizza dough and top it with butter, garlic, and 2 cheeses. It’s so delicious!
I was never really a pizza person until we moved to Colorado. We spent a month in a hotel and then another week in our house without our belongings so we ate a lot of pizza and I came to love breadsticks (and stuffed crust pizza but we’re talking breadsticks right now). I suggest ordering pizza these days just so I can get breadsticks.
I saw this recipe and needed to make it ASAP. Ridiculously good. They taste just like the kind of breadsticks you would get at a pizza place and they’re so simple! And cheaper than ordering out because I’m almost positive you have all the ingredients already in your kitchen.
Ingredients
- Pizza dough – use your favorite store-bought pizza dough (I love the Trader Joe’s one) or homemade recipe.
- Butter – this gets brushed all over the dough to make it extra delicious.
- Garlic – if you don’t have fresh garlic, you can use garlic powder.
- Mozzarella cheese – this gives you that stretchy cheese pull when you pull the breadsticks apart.
- Parmesan – you can’t make cheesy breadsticks without parmesan. It adds a saltiness that makes them so delicious.
How To Make Cheesy Breadsticks
- Prepare dough. Stretch pizza dough to fit 12-inch pizza pan or a regular sheet pan.
- Make garlic butter. Melt butter over low heat in a small saucepan. Add garlic and cook just for a few seconds, until fragrant.
- Brush garlic butter. Use a pastry brush to brush the butter over the dough.
- Add cheese. Sprinkle the cheeses over top.
- Bake. Bake at 425F for 10 – 12 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
- Cut and serve. Let cool slightly before cutting.
How Long Are They Good For?
These cheesy breadsticks will be good for 3 – 4 days in the refrigerator. Make sure to store them in an airtight container.
I like to reheat these in the oven or a toaster oven so they get a little crispiness back.
