Why You’ll Love These Breadsticks

The result is a crisp, buttery crust with a cheesy, flavorful center that will make these a new favorite in your appetizer rotation.
Ingredients
Filling:
- 1/2 lb thinly sliced beef (like ribeye or flank steak)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Cheese & Dough:
- 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
For Topping:
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté onions and bell peppers until softened, about 5 minutes. Return beef to the pan, then stir in garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook another 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Assemble the Breadsticks: Roll out pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 10×14 inches. Slice into 8 equal strips. Place a spoonful of filling and a mix of cheeses down the center of each strip. Fold over and seal the edges tightly. Roll gently so the seam is underneath.
4. Bake: Place breadsticks on the prepared sheet. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with Italian seasoning and Parmesan if using. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and puffed.
5. Serve: Cool slightly and serve warm with marinara, ranch, or cheese sauce for dipping.
Tips & Variations
- Meat Options: Use cooked steak strips, rotisserie chicken, or even plant-based meat.
- Cheese Swaps: Try cheddar, pepper jack, or gouda for a twist.
- Add Veggies: Mushrooms, banana peppers, or jalapeños add great flavor.
Storage & Reheating
- Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Reheat: Warm in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes for best texture.
- Freeze: Assemble and freeze unbaked breadsticks. Bake from frozen at 375°F for 25-30 minutes.
