Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of pizza dough, either handmade or purchased
• 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of pepper
• 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, if desired
• If desired, serve with marinara sauce for dipping

Preparation:

1. Get the oven ready: Set the oven temperature to 425°F, or 220°C. Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll out the dough: Flatten the pizza dough to the desired thickness on a floured surface. Cut it into strips approximately 1 inch wide.
3. Prepare the garlic butter: Mix melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
4. Brush the dough: Spread the garlic butter mixture over the surfaces of the dough strips.
5. Add cheese and seasoning: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the dough strips. Optionally, add dried oregano for extra flavor.
6. Twist and arrange: Carefully twist each strip of dough and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each breadstick.
7. Bake: Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Serve: Allow the breadsticks to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
