Ingredients
  

  • All-purpose flour, for dusting work surface
  • 1 pound homemade or store-bought pizza dough
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Homemade or store-bought marinara sauce, for serving

Equipment

  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper or Silpats
  • Kitchen scissors
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpats. Lightly flour your work surface.
  2. Divide the dough into 10 equal balls. Roll each ball into an 8-inch rope, slightly larger at the ends.
  3. Arrange five breadsticks per sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Snip a 1-inch slit on each end with scissors and stretch slightly to form bone shapes.
  4. Brush breadsticks with melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove, sprinkle with mozzarella, and return to oven for 5–7 minutes until cheese is melted.
  6. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Pizza dough rolls best at room temperature, so let it sit out before shaping. Use kitchen scissors to snip the ends into bone shapes—it’s easier than using a knife. While marinara is a classic dip, try serving with beer cheese dip or cowboy butter for a tasty twist.
