Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to bake the dough to a perfect golden crisp.
Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Apply Butter: Brush the entire surface of the rolled dough evenly with melted unsalted butter to add moisture and flavor.
Add Seasonings and Cheese: Sprinkle garlic powder, grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, and a pinch of salt evenly over the buttered dough. Then, top with shredded mozzarella cheese for a cheesy finish.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Cool and Slice: Remove from the oven and let the bread cool slightly to avoid burning, then cut into breadstick-sized strips for serving.
Serve: Serve the breadsticks warm, optionally accompanied by marinara sauce for dipping to enhance the flavor experience.

Notes

You can use store-bought or homemade pizza dough based on your preference.
For a cheesier version, increase the amount of mozzarella or use a blend of Italian cheeses like provolone and asiago.
