Ingredients

  • 1 tube (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted or garlic butter and omit salt
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • ¼ teaspoon sea or kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Prepare the oven: Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
  • Combine the Parmesan, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle half of the mixture evenly over the parchment paper where the dough will sit.
  • Unroll the pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Score it crosswise into approximately 10 breadsticks without cutting completely through. Brush the bottom of the dough with half of the melted butter.
  • Place the dough buttered-side down onto the Parmesan mixture and gently press so the seasoning adheres. Brush the top with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle evenly with the remaining Parmesan mixture.
  • Bake at 425°F for 9–12 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Cool for 5 minutes, then separate the breadsticks along the scored lines.

Notes

  • Fully preheat the oven and use a metal sheet pan for the most even bake. Glass or dark nonstick pans may cause the breadsticks to cook and brown differently. 
  • If the centers are still doughy, give the breadsticks a few extra minutes to bake. If they’re browning too quickly on top, move the pan to a lower oven rack so the centers have time to cook through. 
  • Store-bought pizza dough doesn’t need to rise first. Just shape, season, and bake!
