Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough (about 13.8 oz)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Black olives, sliced (for mummy eyes)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- All-purpose flour for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly flour your work surface.
- Roll out the pizza dough into a 12×9 inch rectangle. Cut into 8 equal strips.
- Place a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese along one edge of each strip and gently fold or roll the dough over the cheese to encase it, creating a breadstick.
- Use a knife to make small slits along the length of each breadstick to mimic mummy bandages, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Place the breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Mix melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush generously over each breadstick.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Remove from oven and immediately press two black olive slices onto the top to create mummy eyes on each breadstick.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your spooky cheesy garlic breadsticks!
Notes
For extra spookiness, serve with marinara sauce to mimic ‘bloody’ dipping or add a sprinkle of red chili flakes for a spicy kick.
