- Pizza Dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
- Provolone Cheese (optional)
- Butter (melted)
- Olive Oil (optional, as a substitute for butter)
- Garlic Powder
- Minced Garlic (optional, as a substitute for garlic powder)
- Italian Seasoning (optional, blend of dried basil, oregano, and thyme)
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- If using store-bought dough, roll it out on a floured surface to about half an inch thick. If making your own dough, follow your recipe for rolling.
- Transfer the rolled dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet and slice it into strips about 1 inch wide using a pizza cutter.
- Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough strips for even coverage.
- In a small bowl, melt your butter (or olive oil) in the microwave and mix in garlic powder and Italian seasoning if using.
- Brush the melted butter mixture over the cheese-covered dough to add flavor and achieve a golden-brown finish.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute. Cut along the pre-sliced lines to separate the cheese sticks and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
