  • Yield: 12 breadsticks 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness in a rectangle.
  • Brush dough generously with melted garlic butter.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan evenly over the top.
