We streamlined this recipe by opting for a store-bought pizza crust, and what do you think is the secret for preparing aromatic and cheesy breadsticks? Smother them in Gaelic-infused butter to let the dough absorb its fragrant aroma. Next, wrap it up in a gooey layer of shredded cheeses, and you have the perfect appetizer or snack.
We love to serve them with homemade tzatziki, as the cheesy flavor pairs nicely with the garlicky and tangy taste. Are you looking for ways to add crunch to refreshing salads? Top them with breadsticks and enjoy your nutritious meal.
What makes this recipe so unique?
The recipe enhances the breadsticks with homemade garlic butter for that fragrant aroma. Plus, we use store-bought pizza dough to speed up the process and have your breadsticks ready in no time. The rich cheesy flavor and buttery garlic notes create a pleasant sensation for your tastebuds, so no one will notice you’re using the ready-made dough.
Can I substitute dried basil?
Of course, you can experiment with different herbs and create new flavor combinations. We have made this recipe with rosemary, and it turned out fantastic. You can also go with Italian seasoning for that herbal solid note.
What to serve it with?
The cheesy garlic bread steak can be served with various appetizers. Think of them as the perfect vessel for enjoying your favorite dipping sauce. The garlic note in homemade tzatziki perfectly complements the breadsticks. Add your bread steak on top if you want to enhance a refreshing vegetable salad with some crunchiness. Despite adding that crispy touch, they will improve your salad with a rich parmesan, garlic, and basil flavor.
Can I make it ahead of time?
Yes, you can make your cheesy garlic breadsticks ahead of time. They are perfect if you have a large gathering and want your food prepared before the big event. They will stay fresh if you store them in an airtight container in the fridge.
Ingredients:
- Refrigerated pizza crust
- Melted butter
- Minced garlic
- Mozzarella cheese shredded
- Parmesan cheese grated
- Dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Combine the melted butter and minced garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
Place a piece of parchment paper over your working surface and roll out the pizza dough. Form a rectangle shape.
Take the butter and garlic mixture and sprinkle over the dough. Make sure to spread it evenly across the surface.
Add half a teaspoon of the dried basil over the garlic butter.
Distribute the parmesan and mozzarella evenly on the dough.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Sprinkle the remaining half teaspoon of basil.
Slice the dough in half lengthwise. Then, cut into 10 individual lines. So you have a total of 20 breadsticks. Bake your cheesy garlic breadsticks for 15 minutes at 425 degrees F or until they have a nice golden brown color. Serve and enjoy!
