Ingredients
All-purpose flour, for dusting work surface
1pound homemade or store-bought pizza dough
2Tablespoonsunsalted butter, melted
1/2cupgrated Parmesan cheese
1cupshredded mozzarella cheese
Homemade or store-bought marinara sauce, for serving
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpats. Lightly flour your work surface.
Divide the dough into 10 equal balls. Roll each ball into an 8-inch rope slightly larger on the ends. Arrange five breadsticks on each baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Using scissors, cut a 1-inch slit on the ends of each breadstick and gently stretch each of the cut pieces apart to form the ends of the bones.
Brush the breadsticks with the melted butter then sprinkle on the grated Parmesan cheese. Bake the breadsticks for about 15 minutes then remove them from the oven and top them with the mozzarella cheese. Return the breadsticks to the oven for an additional 5 to 7 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Remove the breadsticks from the oven and serve them warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
Pizza dough is easiest to roll when it's at room temperature, rather than chilled.
Kitchen scissors are the perfect tool for snipping these breadsticks into bones. Don’t try to use a knife: It will be much harder to cleanly cut through the dough.
