Ingredients
Dough and Coating Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough Pre-made for ease.
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted) For brushing the breadsticks.
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese For a savory crunch.
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese For gooey stringiness.
- All-purpose flour (for dusting) A dash to prevent sticking.
Serving Ingredients
- 1 cup marinara sauce For dipping.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Divide the pizza dough into ten equal portions and roll each into an 8-inch long rope, making the ends thicker to resemble bones.
- Using kitchen scissors, make two small cuts at each end of the dough ropes to create the bone shape. Gently stretch these pieces apart.
Baking
- Brush the melted butter over each breadstick and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on each breadstick. Return to the oven for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving
- Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
For healthier options, consider whole wheat pizza dough or dairy-free cheese. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
