Ingredients

- Mozzarella Cheese

- Parmesan Cheese (optional)
- Butter
- Garlic Powder
- Italian Seasoning
- Marinara Sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- On a floured surface, roll out your pizza dough to about ½ inch thick.
- Spread the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the dough, leaving about half an inch around the edges.
- Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the cheese-covered dough into strips, aiming for about 1-inch wide strips.
- In a small bowl, melt your butter and mix in garlic powder and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture generously over the cut strips of dough.
- Place your cheese sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
