Method
 

Preheat the oven

Prepare your surface
  1. Lightly dust your work area with all-purpose flour to prevent sticking.

Cut the strips
  1. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into 1-inch wide strips.
Shape the bones
  1. Take each strip and tie a small knot on both ends to make bone shapes.
Butter it up
  1. Place the shaped dough on the baking sheet. Brush generously with melted butter using a pastry brush.
Add the cheese
  1. Sprinkle Parmesan first, then mozzarella evenly over the top.
Bake
  1. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Serve
  1. Let them cool for 5 minute, then serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
💡 Tip: For extra spooky flair, serve the marinara sauce in a small skull-shaped bowl or drizzle some “bloody” sauce over the breadsticks.
