Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Pre-made pizza dough or homemade dough | 1 lb package |
| Unsalted butter, melted | 1/2 cup |
| Garlic, minced | 3 cloves |
| Italian seasoning | 1 tsp |
| Garlic powder | 1/2 tsp |
| Salt | 1/4 tsp |
| Shredded mozzarella cheese | 2 cups |
| Grated parmesan cheese | 1/4 cup |
| Fresh parsley, chopped (optional) | For garnish |
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven: Set it to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 1/2 inch thick rectangle. Transfer it to your prepared baking sheet.
- Mix the butter and garlic: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Brush this savory mixture generously over the top of your dough.
- Add the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and parmesan evenly over the buttered dough. Don’t be shy, this is all about that cheesy goodness!
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the edges are a beautiful golden brown.
- Cool and cut: Let them cool slightly before cutting the dough into breadstick portions with a pizza cutter or a sharp knife.
- Garnish and serve: If you like garnishes, a little sprinkle of chopped parsley can add color and a fresh taste right before serving.
