Description

These Easy Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks are a perfect savory snack or appetizer made with refrigerated pizza crust, garlic butter, and a generous topping of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Crispy on the edges and soft inside, they are seasoned with a hint of oregano and baked to golden perfection for a quick and crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 tube of refrigerated pizza crust

Topping

  • 1 Tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 3/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • 1 Tablespoon Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even baking of the breadsticks.
  2. Prepare the dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza crust onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading it evenly to form a rectangular base.
  3. Make garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with crushed garlic to infuse the butter with a rich garlic flavor. Brush this mixture evenly over the entire surface of the rolled-out pizza crust.
  4. Add the cheeses and seasoning: Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the garlic buttered dough. Follow with an even sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and then the dried oregano leaves, if using, to add an aromatic herbal note.
  5. Score the dough: Using a pizza slicer or a large knife, cut the cheese-covered pizza crust into 16 equal-sized rectangles. This will make it easier to separate the breadsticks after baking.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown at the edges.
  7. Serve: Remove the breadsticks from the oven and cut again along the scored lines if needed. Serve warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can add more oregano or garlic powder to enhance the flavor.
  • For extra crispiness, brush the edges with a little more butter before baking.
  • These breadsticks are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven to restore crispiness.
  • Use freshly grated cheese for better melting and flavor compared to pre-shredded options.
