Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • saucepan
  • Pizza Cutter

Ingredients

  • 1 lb store-bought pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups low-moisture mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll pizza dough into a 12x8-inch rectangle on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
  • Brush half of the garlic butter evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the dough, then add Parmesan and Italian seasoning.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges are golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove from oven and immediately brush with remaining garlic butter.
  • Slice into 12 breadsticks and serve warm.

Notes

Use low-moisture mozzarella for best melt and leave a small border around the dough to prevent cheese from sliding off. Brush garlic butter both before and after baking for maximum flavor.
