Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Prepare the Dough:
If using store-bought pizza dough, roll it out onto the prepared baking sheet, stretching it into a rectangle or your desired shape. If you’re using homemade dough, roll it out to a similar thickness.
Brush the top of the dough with olive oil, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
Season the Dough:
Sprinkle the garlic powder, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) evenly over the dough. This will infuse the breadsticks with a delicious flavor that pairs perfectly with the cheesy topping.
Add the Cheese:
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the entire surface of the dough. Follow up with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Bake the Breadsticks:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Finish and Serve:
Once baked, remove the breadsticks from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Slice them into strips and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Enjoy:
Serve your cheesy breadsticks with marinara sauce for dipping or on their own as a delightful snack. They are perfect alongside pasta, salads, or even as an appetizer at your next gathering!
