Warm up the oven: Ready your oven for baking at 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
Roll out the dough: Preheat a lightly floured surface and roll out the pizza dough to the thickness you like. To make breadsticks with a thicker texture, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Flatten the dough slightly to get thinner breadsticks.
Slicing into sticks: Slice the dough into about 1-inch-wide strips using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife.
Mince the garlic and set aside: Put the melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into a small bowl and stir to combine.
Roll out the dough: Spread the garlic butter mixture over the dough strips’ surfaces.
Top with cheese: Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough strips. Last but not least, top with the grated Parmesan.
Season: If you want to add a little more flavor to the cheese, you may sprinkle some dried oregano on top.
Put each dough strip on the baking sheet with a little space between it, twisting it carefully after each placement.
Prep the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the breadsticks for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they get a golden brown color and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Breadsticks should be cooled for a few minutes after taking them out of the oven before serving. If preferred, serve warm and dip with marinara sauce.
Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks are a great appetizer.
