If you need something for Game day! This recipe Scores lots of points.
One of the things that I have had to learn with a house full of kids is to have plenty of food on hand. Imaging putting some sauce in the bottom of dixie cups, sticking in a few of these yummy hot treats, and watching their faces light up!
Yeah, it really can be that easy!
Twisted Pizza Breadsticks
Ingredients:
- 2 lb. frozen bread dough- that has been thawed
- 12 oz. jar pizza sauce
- 1 bag mini turkey pepperonis, or other topping of your choice
- 1 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
- Italian seasoning, or substitute dried basil and oregano
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Roll each loaf of dough to a ½” thick rectangle on a well-floured surface (seriously, don’t forget the flour).
- Spread about 3 tbsp. pizza sauce over one rectangle of dough. You only want enough to just coat the surface or else it will be really messy when you get to the twisting step. (Don’t worry, there will be plenty of sauce for dipping!)
- Sprinkle about ½. pepperoni and 1 c. mozzarella over the sauce, and arrange the other rectangle dough over the top.
- Press the top dough down evenly, and then slice the dough into strips about 1½” wide. Carefully twist each strip of dough, and place the breadsticks on two baking sheets lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- Sprinkle Parmesan and Italian seasoning over the top of the twisted sticks.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until tops are golden brown.
- Serve with ample pizza sauce for dipping, and enjoy!
Quick Tip: I also love the alfredo chicken pizza so might have to try that as well! This is so much easier to eat than the calzones I make!
