Ingredients

  • 1 13.8 ounce can refrigerated pizza dough
  • 1-2 tablespoons butter melted
  • Salt to taste (I used about ¼ teaspoon)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
  • Unroll pizza dough on the counter or on a cutting board.
    1 13.8 ounce can refrigerated pizza dough
  • Slice dough into 8 strips.
  • Take one strip and fold it over in half. Twist gently and place on baking sheet.
  • Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Brush each breadstick with melted butter. Sprinkle salt over top, to taste.
    1-2 tablespoons butter, Salt
  • Bake breadsticks for about 9-12 minutes, or just until golden brown.

Notes

  • Easy Cheesy Breadsticks: top the breadsticks with the shredded cheese of your choice – cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, or an Italian blend. 
  • Pizza Breadsticks: instead of twisting the pizza dough, top the dough with your favorite pizza sauce and cheese. Then use a pizza cutter to slice the pizza into breadsticks!
  • Garlic & Herb Breadsticks: a simple garlic and fresh herbs mixture can add tons of flavor to your simple breadsticks. Make a quick garlic butter by mixing garlic powder and Italian seasoning with melted or room-temperature butter. Brush the butter mixture onto the pizza dough before baking.
  • Use garlic salt instead of regular salt to make simple garlic breadsticks.
  • Sprinkle the bread sticks with grated Parmesan or garnish with chopped chives or parsley.
  • Serve with a simple marinara sauce or your favorite pizza sauce for dipping. 
  • Layer the inside of the breadsticks with shredded cheese and garlic powder before folding and twisting for tasty stuffed cheesy garlic breadsticks.
  • You can make these pizza dough breadsticks in a toaster oven or air fryer as well as the oven – most store-bought pizza dough has alternative cooking directions on the package!
