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!
