Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 pound Pizza dough Store-bought for convenience
  • All-purpose flour For dusting the surface; use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option
For the Toppings
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter Melted; can swap with olive oil for a lighter option
  • ½ cup Grated Parmesan cheese Can use Pecorino Romano for a bolder flavor
  • 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese Consider dairy-free cheese for a vegan alternative
For Dipping
  • Marinara sauce For dipping; other sauces like ranch or pesto work well

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Kitchen scissors

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Let your pizza dough sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to soften and then divide it into 10 equal pieces.
  3. Roll each piece of dough into an 8-inch rope, making the ends slightly thicker to resemble bones. Snip each end about 1 inch deep.
  4. Transfer the shaped breadsticks onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring enough space between them.
  5. Brush the shaped breadsticks with melted unsalted butter and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese generously over the top.
  6. Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until they puff up and turn light golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the tops, then return to the oven for an additional 5–7 minutes until bubbly.
  8. Let the breadsticks cool for a few minutes before serving warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
