Garlic Bread Cheese Sticks
Description
This recipe starts by rolling out refrigerated pizza dough and cutting it into rectangles sized to enclose mozzarella sticks. Each cheese stick is wrapped completely with dough, sealing edges to prevent leaks. The assembled sticks are brushed with melted butter, then sprinkled evenly with garlic salt and Parmesan cheese. Baking at a high temperature crisps the dough while melting the cheese fully inside, yielding golden breadsticks with a savory garlic flavor. The contrast between the crunchy exterior and the soft, melted mozzarella makes these cheese sticks appealing as an appetizer or snack.
The recipe recommends serving the bread sticks warm, optionally with marinara sauce for dipping to add a bright tomato contrast. The process is straightforward and uses few ingredients, suitable for a quick homemade treat. Cooking times and temperatures ensure thorough melting and browning without burning.
Ingredients
- 1 roll pizza dough refrigerated
- 10 mozzarella sticks (also knowns as string cheese)
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese

- Spread pizza dough out on a lightly greased baking sheet. Cut the dough into 10 equal size rectangles.
