Garlic Butter Breadsticks

This recipe takes less than 20 minutes thanks to a premade ball of pizza dough.
Ingredients
Ingredients List:
- 16 oz Essential Baking Company Organic Pizza Dough, room temperature
- 3 tbsp Nellie’s Free Range Butter
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1-2 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional dipping sauces like San Marzano Marinara Sauce and Paesana White Pizza Sauce
Preparation
- Preheat the Oven Preheat the oven to 425°F and grease or line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Ingredients Spread the pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a rectangle. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough lengthwise into strips approximately 1½–2 inches wide.
- Cut the Breadsticks Carefully transfer the dough strips to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Allow the strips to rest and rise for a few minutes while preparing the garlic butter mixture.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter In a small bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Using a pastry brush, evenly coat the top of each breadstick with the garlic butter mixture.
- Bake the Breadsticks Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and cooked through. While the breadsticks are still warm, brush them with any remaining garlic butter mixture.
- Serve and Enjoy! Sprinkle the breadsticks with additional chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately, accompanied by preferred dipping sauces such as marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli.
