Remember those cheesy “bosco sticks” from the school cafeteria? The ones that oozed with gooey, melted cheese and were perfect for dipping into marinara sauce? You can recreate that nostalgic snack in the comfort of your own kitchen with this delicious and easy recipe. These cheesy breadsticks will transport you back to those carefree days.
Whether you’re enjoying them as a snack, appetizer, or even as a side dish for pizza night, these will be a hit with friends and family.
Ingredients you will need:
Pizza dough – You can use any pre-made pizza dough for this recipe. The Pillsbury canned pizza crust is a convenient choice, but feel free to explore other options as well.
String cheese sticks – Look for mozzarella string cheese sticks at your local grocery store. They are the secret to the ooey-gooey cheesy center of these breadsticks.
Parmesan cheese – Extra cheese is always a good idea! Parmesan cheese is perfect for garnishing.
Butter – Brushing a bit of melted butter on top of the breadsticks at the end of baking gives them a nice golden finish.
Parsley – Fresh chopped parsley is the best choice. You can also consider using Italian seasoning or other herbs to suit your taste.
Marinara sauce – You can’t have cheesy breadsticks without marinara sauce for dipping. Make sure to have some on hand for the ultimate flavor combination.
Note: If you’re concerned about cheese leakage, you can try freezing the cheese sticks for a few hours before wrapping them in the dough. Keep a close eye on the breadsticks in the oven to prevent them from overcooking or oozing cheese.
