Skeleton Bone Breadsticks with Marinara Sauce
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Pastry Brush
- Small Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide the pizza dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-inch rope, then press the ends slightly wider to form bone shapes.
- Place the shaped dough pieces on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Stir the garlic powder and dried oregano into the melted butter. Brush the mixture over each breadstick.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly across the tops.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the breadsticks turn golden brown.
- Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan or microwave and serve it alongside the breadsticks for dipping.
Notes
Shape the dough ends a little thicker before baking so the bone look holds after rising. If the dough feels sticky while rolling, dust your hands lightly with flour. Leftovers reheat best in a 350-degree oven for five minutes to restore crisp edges rather than using a microwave.
