Dough and Sauce
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
Cheese and Toppings
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices (optional)
Seasonings and Finishing
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the breadsticks evenly.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle roughly 12×10 inches in size to create a base for the fillings.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border along the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce for a cheesy base layer.
- Layer Pepperoni and Seasoning: Distribute the pepperoni slices evenly on top of the cheese, then sprinkle the Italian seasoning over everything to add fragrant herb flavors.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Cut the rolled dough into approximately 1-inch thick slices to form individual breadsticks.
- Arrange and Brush: Place the slices cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with olive oil to promote browning and crispiness during baking.
- Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the tops of the rolls before placing them in the oven for an extra cheesy and slightly crunchy finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the breadsticks are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
Notes
- You can omit pepperoni to make these vegetarian.
- Use gluten-free pizza dough if you need a gluten-free option.
- For extra flavor, add garlic powder or red pepper flakes to the Italian seasoning mix.
- Serve immediately for best taste, as breadsticks can become chewy when refrigerated.
