Step 2 – Roll the dough out on a lightly greased baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cut the bread dough into 10 equal-sized rectangles. A pizza cutter makes this really easy!

  • Step 6 – Enjoy warm with a side of marinara sauce or garlic butter for dipping if desired. We love serving them with our  Homemade Pizza sauce.

Expert Tips

  • Prepare Baking Sheet – We recommend lining the baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps to prevent the breadsticks from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
  • Pizza Dough – Cut the pizza dough evenly with a pizza cutter. This will help that the cheese sticks cook evenly.

Serving Suggestions

But, traditionally we serve them with Italian food like Italian Sausage Rigatoni, Roasted Red Pepper Italian Sausage, or Italian Chicken Soup!  But really, just make them and eat them.

They’re also perfect for parties! Bring them out while you’re waiting on the main dish or add them to a platter and serve alongside other appetizers or dips. They would be amazing dipped into Spinach Artichoke Dip.

  1. Cindy Nutter says:

    I seen little green specks on top of the breadsticks when adding the parm cheese, parsley or oregano?

  2. Carrie says:

    I use the grated kind from the jar for this recipe. Thank you!

  3. Lora Miranda says:

    Sounds yummy! For the parmisan cheese is it grated or the kind you buy in the jar already grated?

  4. Teresa Lango says:

    5 stars
    This looks like a must try with your homemade pizza sauce for dipping. Thinking a tasty change up would be to add some mini pepperoni slices inside or change the profile to spicy sticks with pepperjack cheese. YUM!!!!
