Homemade Garlic Cheese Breadsticks
The breadsticks start with an easy pizza dough recipe which is perfectly chewy and flavorful (thanks to a hint of garlic salt) on the inside but crispy on the outside then a melted garlic and Italian seasoning butter brushed on, and covered by a thick layer of shredded cheeses, parmesan and parsley.
Dovetailing tip: Double the recipe for these breadsticks. Use the additional pizza crust to make the dessert for today - Fruit Pizza.
