Ingredients
- 1 tube refrigerated pizza crust
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to the temperature specified on the pizza crust packaging to ensure optimal baking.
- Prepare the crust: Roll out the refrigerated pizza crust evenly onto a baking sheet to create a flat base for your breadsticks.
- Make garlic butter mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with the crushed garlic to infuse the butter with robust garlic flavor.
- Apply garlic butter: Use a brush to evenly coat the entire surface of the pizza crust with the garlic-butter mixture, ensuring every stick will be flavorful.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the crust until it turns a beautiful golden brown, typically about 10-15 minutes depending on your oven and crust instructions.
- Serve: Remove the crispy crust from the oven, cut it into sticks, and serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle some shredded mozzarella or parmesan cheese on top before baking.
- Add herbs like oregano or parsley to the garlic butter for a herby twist.
- If you prefer a crispier texture, bake a few extra minutes but watch closely to avoid burning.
- These breadsticks pair wonderfully with marinara or ranch dipping sauces.
