Cheesy Halloween Breadstick Bones
PREP: 10 MINUTES
COOK: 22 MINUTES
YIELD: 10 BREADSTICKS
INGREDIENTS
1 pound homemade or store-bought pizza dough
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Homemade or store-bought marinara sauce, for serving
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpats.
Divide the dough into 10 equal balls. Roll each ball into an 8-inch rope slightly larger on the ends. Arrange five breadsticks on each baking sheet, spacing them at leas 2 inches apart. Using scissors, cut a 1-inch slit on the ends of each breadstick and gently stretch each of the cut pieces apart to form the ends of the bones.
Brush the breadsticks with the melted butter then sprinkle on the grated Parmesan cheese. Bake the breadsticks for about 15 minutes then remove them from the oven and top them with the mozzarella cheese. Return the breadsticks to the oven for an additional 5 to 7 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Remove the breadsticks from the oven and serve them warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Pizza dough is easiest to roll at when it's at room temperature, rather than chilled.
