Ingredients:

• Minced garlic
• Prepared refrigerated pizza crust
• Parmesan cheese grated
• Shredded Mozzarella cheese
• Basil dried
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make It

Step 1. Heat the oven to 425 degrees. As your oven is being heated, spend time preparing the dough so you’re ready to go once it’s preheated.

Step 2. Press the prepared pizza crust dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the dough as thin and as evenly as possible to ensure your baking dish is full and ready for toppings (and plenty of cheese, of course).

Step 3. In a small bowl, mix the butter and garlic. Mixing the butter and garlic together will allow the flavor of garlic to incorporate before you add the mixture to your dough.

Step 4. Brush the garlic butter mixture onto the dough evenly to cover as much of the surface as possible.

Step 5. Sprinkle on half of the basil you’ve measured out.

Step 6. Top the dough with the mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese. You can also use other cheese, such as goat cheese as a topping for a tangy, creamy addition.

Step 7. Add the remaining basil and salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8. Slice the dough into 12 even breadsticks with a pizza cutter.

Step 9. Bake for 15 minutes, and then reslice the sticks with the pizza cutter before serving.
