FAQ's

Tips

• 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!
• If you add any toppings such as mushrooms or any canned items, make sure to drain them well otherwise the pizza could become soggy. 
• If you don’t have a pizza cutter, use a sharp knife to pre-slice the crust. It makes it so much easier when the bread comes out of the oven and it's super hot.
• Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper or use cooking spray for easy cleanup.
• To make the cheesesticks pull-part score lines on the dough before baking.

Variations

• Go ahead and use different cheeses for these pizza breadsticks. Just make sure the cheese chosen is one that melts well. 
• Add toppings to your cheesy pizza breadsticks such as sliced ham, mushrooms, bell peppers, pepperoni, pineapple, bacon, sausage - you get the point!
• Consider making a traditional round pizza and serving these as pizza slices.
• Marinara sauce makes a terrific dipper!
• Make your own pizza dough instead of using refrigerated pizza crust. This bread dough pizza recipe is a great option to use. 
• Easily make cheese sticks by rolling the refrigerated pizza crust into thin straws and then roll them in shredded cheese mixed with a half teaspoon onion powder and a half teaspoon garlic powder and bake! 
• 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.
