FAQ's
Yes! Just follow my homemade bread dough pizza recipe - well, technically not homemade as it uses a shortcut for added convenience!
No, there's no feason to pre-bake the crust.
Definitely! In fact, I love using a pizza stone over anything else because it tends to create more even heating compared to metal pans. You'll need to preheat the pizza stone in the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 375F.
Top Tip
A very cool tip is to lightly dust the surface of your pizza pan with some cornmeal which will give the crust added flavor and crisp! Not many people know this!
- Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper or use cooking spray for easy cleanup.
- Score the cheese sticks pull-parts before baking.
Variations
- Add toppings to your cheesy pizza breadsticks, such as sliced ham, mushrooms, pepperoni, pineapple, bacon, and bell peppers, sausage - you get the point!
- You could also use leftover dough if you're making a homemade pizza!
Storage
Cool to room temperature. Leftover cheesy pizza breadsticks should be stacked with a layer of parchment paper between them. Cover with plastic wrap or in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3-4 days.
You can also freeze your pizza breadsticks for up to 1-2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven or air fryer.
