Instructions:

Preheat the oven:

• Temperature: 425°F (220°C)
• Rack position: Middle rack
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Roll out the dough:

• Lightly dust your work surface with flour.
• Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick).
• Transfer the rolled dough to the prepared baking sheet.

3. Add the savory twist:

• In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
• Brush this mixture evenly over the dough.

4. Add the cheese:

• Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the buttered dough.
• Follow with a layer of grated Parmesan.
• Optional: Add fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

5. Slice the dough:

• Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into strips about 1 inch wide.
• You can leave the strips in place — they’ll bake together but separate easily after baking.

6. Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown and the edges are crispy.

7. Cool and serve:

• Let the breadsticks cool for 5 minutes before gently separating them.
• Serve warm with marinara sauce or garlic butter for dipping.

Tips:

• Add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or onion powder for extra depth of flavor.
• For extra crispiness, broil for the last 1-2 minutes — but keep an eye on them!
• Swap mozzarella for cheddar, gouda, or a cheese blend if you want to mix things up.
