Description

Soft, golden breadsticks stuffed with melted mozzarella cheese and brushed with a flavorful garlic butter mixture. These cheese stuffed breadsticks are perfect as a snack, appetizer, or a delicious side dish, with a crispy exterior and gooey, cheesy center.

Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

Filling

  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese sticks or shredded mozzarella cheese

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Pinch of salt

Optional

  • Parmesan cheese, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the breadsticks.
  2. Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a flat surface into a rectangle shape large enough to hold the cheese filling.
  3. Add Cheese Filling: Place mozzarella cheese sticks or shredded cheese evenly in the center of the rolled dough.
  4. Seal Dough: Fold the dough over the cheese, pressing firmly along the edges to completely seal the cheese inside and prevent leakage during baking.
  5. Cut Into Strips: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the sealed dough into strips of your desired width and place them spaced apart on a baking tray.
  6. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with minced garlic, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to mix all flavors together.
  7. Brush Breadsticks: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over the top of each breadstick for a flavorful crust.
  8. Bake: Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and gooey.
  9. Optional Parmesan Topping: Remove the breadsticks from the oven and sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top while still warm for extra savory flavor.
  10. Serve Warm: Serve the breadsticks warm, ideally paired with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Serve with marinara sauce for a classic dipping option.
  • Ensure you seal the edges of the dough completely to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
  • Use freshly minced garlic for the best flavor in the garlic butter.
  • Can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for a quick snack.
  • Optionally add herbs like basil or thyme to the garlic butter for extra aroma.
