Why this recipe works

Stuffed breadsticks are delicious because they combine the classic flavors of pizza in a fun way. The breadsticks are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a delicious filling of mozzarella cheese, savory meats, and zesty pizza sauce to dip in.

Ingredients Needed

• Pizza crust: Prepackaged from the grocery store or homemade.
• String cheese: Either whole milk or part skim milk cheese is fine.
• Parmesan cheese: I like to use freshly grated from the deli.
• Pepperoni: Any brand is fine.

• Step 1: Spread the dough out.
• Step 2: Cut into 8 equal rectangles.
• Step 3: Place pepperoni slices and string cheese.
• Step 4: Roll up the dough and pinch the seams.
• Step 5: Brush the garlic butter over the top.
• Step 6: Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top.
• Step 7: Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Step 8: Bake!

Recipe tips

• I use store-bought pizza dough. But if you have a favorite dough recipe, go for it!
• Make sure you roll and pinch the dough well, to prevent the inside from oozing out.
• A sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top gives the pizza stick the perfect crust-like texture.
• Use your favorite pizza or marinara sauce for dipping.
• These make great party food, with very little prep.
• Not a fan of pepperoni? Just leave it out.
