Easy Homemade Cheesy Breadsticks

These Easy Homemade Cheesy Breadsticks will have you skipping the fast food versions and opting for the homemade version. Covered in melted butter, garlic, and gooey melted mozzarella, you won’t even remember there were other breadsticks before these. Tossed together in 10 minutes or less, and baked in the same amount of time, these breadsticks are easy and quick. 

Easy Homemade Cheesy Breadsticks

 

Although many of us think we know what’s in all those fast-food dishes we buy, the fact is, none of us have truly any clue all the ingredients in that stuff. However, you can make copycat versions of your favorite fast food choices at home and have a much easier time knowing what’s going into the food. You don’t always have to eat extremely healthy and strict foods when eating at home. You can go with an unhealthier choice, but at least you know that your unhealthy choice is still much healthier than the fast-food version.

 

That’s why I like to make these Easy Homemade Cheesy Breadsticks at home instead of buying them. They don’t take long to make at all plus, you can make more of them for cheaper than buying them from someplace like Pizza Hut. My kids plow through the breadsticks and it makes for one displeased mama. So, instead, we choose to make our own which ensures the kids don’t take them all, on top of being more aware of what’s going into our mouths.

Common Questions About Easy Homemade Cheesy Breadsticks

 

What Else Can Be Done With Pizza Dough?

 

Oh boy, that’s a loaded question since there are a plethora of recipes that can be whipped up with pizza dough. A quick Google will give you more recipes to use with pizza dough than you’ll ever use in a lifetime. Think of any recipe that needs a basic bread base to be made and you can use pizza dough to make it. Now, I wouldn’t make pies with it, but I’ve seen it done and it’s not bad, just not as good as a homemade crust. Here’s a list of recipes I love making with pizza dough.

 

  • Panini
  • Monkey Bread
  • Garlic Knots
  • Cream Cheese Veggie Pizza
  • Cinnamon Rolls
  • Soft Pretzels

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

 

  • 8 Ounces Pre-Made Pizza Dough
  • 1 ½ – 2 Cups Shredded Mozzarella
  • ½ Cup Butter, melted
  • 6 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • Cornmeal

 

Directions:

 

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Sprinkle your workspace with some cornmeal then, using a rolling pin, roll out the pre-made pizza dough. The shape doesn’t matter much, however, if you’re wanting them to look like cheesesticks you buy at pizza places, try to give it a more rectangular look rather than a round one, reaching about 12 inches.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the butter, seasoning, and garlic thoroughly.
  4. Pour over the dough and spread evenly or brush over the entire dough surface before sprinkling the cheese evenly over the entire dough, except the very edges.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until crust is to desire golden brown.

    We can’t have pasta or pizza around here without bread sticks. Homemade is definitely the way to go. I cannot wait to try your cheesy bread stick recipe next time we have spaghetti or pizza!

    This is a nice recipe. My boys love cheesy breadsticks, however, they only get them when they get the pizza hut gift cards from school lol. I may have to surprise them and make this one day for dinner.
