Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks: Gooey, Garlicky Perfection
There’s nothing quite like Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks—warm, pull-apart dough sticks loaded with melted cheese and a buttery garlic kick. They’re the ultimate crowd-pleaser for game nights, movie marathons, or just because you deserve something delicious. Crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy inside, these breadsticks disappear faster than you can say “seconds please.”
The secret to that perfect cheesy pull? Fluffy shredded cheese that melts evenly into every bite. A quick crank with the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater gives you uniform shreds in seconds—no fuss, no mess.
🥖Ingredients (Makes 12 breadsticks)
1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1½ cups shredded mozzarella (or a mozzarella-cheddar blend)
½ cup shredded Parmesan
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper
Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Marinara sauce for dipping
🍳Step-by-Step: Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks in 4 Moves
1. Prep the Dough
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about ½-inch thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. Shred the Cheese
Use your cheese grater hand crank with the coarse blade to shred mozzarella and Parmesan into fluffy piles. Spread evenly over half the dough, then fold the other half over and press edges to seal.
3. Slice & Season
Cut the sealed dough into 1-inch strips (don’t separate yet). Brush generously with melted butter mixed with minced garlic, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Bake & Serve
Bake until golden and bubbly. Let cool slightly, then pull apart into breadsticks. Garnish with parsley and serve warm with marinara for dipping—pure cheesy bliss.
🍕Tips & Twists
Spicy Kick – Add red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
Herb Boost – Mix fresh chopped rosemary into the butter.
Extra Cheesy – Top with more shredded Parmesan halfway through baking.
Make-Ahead – Assemble and refrigerate up to 1 day ahead; bake fresh.
Gluten-Free – Use GF pizza dough and shred cheese with Geedel for perfect texture.
