Description
Delicious homemade breadsticks inspired by Pizza Hut, featuring a buttery garlic flavor with Italian herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: If using homemade pizza dough, prepare it ahead of time and allow it to rise until doubled in size. If using store-bought, follow the package instructions.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s fully heated when the breadsticks go in.
- Knead and shape: On a floured surface, roll out your dough and cut it into equal strips, about an inch wide. Shape these into long sticks.
- Melt the butter and mix: In a small saucepan, melt the butter and add minced garlic alongside Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt.
- Brush the sticks: Place the sticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Finishing touches: Remove from the oven and brush with more melted butter. Let them cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
These breadsticks can be served with marinara sauce for dipping. Consider whole wheat dough for a healthier option.
