Scale
Primary Ingredients
- One pack of chilled pizza dough
- 120 ml tomato marinara sauce
- 170 g shredded mozzarella cheese
- 25 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 60 g sliced pepperoni (optional)
Seasonings and Finishes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian herb mix
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Turn the oven on to 190°C (375°F) and wait until it’s fully heated to ensure even baking.
- Prepare Dough Surface: Flatten the pizza dough on a floured surface until it’s even and thin enough for rolling.
- Apply Sauce: Spoon the marinara sauce over the dough, staying about 2 cm from the edges to avoid overflow.
- Add Cheese and Meat: Spread shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce, then scatter sliced pepperoni if using.
- Season and Top: Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the cheese and add some grated Parmesan for extra flavor.
- Roll and Slice: Firmly roll the dough from one side to the other to form a log shape, then cut into 2.5 cm thick pieces.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the breadstick slices on a parchment-lined baking tray with enough space between them to prevent sticking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the breadsticks are golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- Add Final Touches: Remove from oven and drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle more Italian herbs and Parmesan cheese to finish.
- Serve: Serve warm with some extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Omitting the pepperoni makes this recipe suitable for vegetarians.
- Use fresh or store-bought marinara sauce based on preference.
- Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking for optimal texture.
- You can substitute Italian herb mix with dried oregano and basil if desired.
- Allow breadsticks to cool slightly before serving to avoid burning.
