Equipment

Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Pastry brush
Rolling Pin
Small bowl (for butter)
Sharp knife or pizza cutter

Ingredients

All-purpose flour for dusting work surface
1 pound pizza dough store-bought or homemade
2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

Preheat the oven

to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare your surface

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

Roll the dough

Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.

Cut the strips

Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into 1-inch wide strips.

Shape the bones

Take each strip and tie a small knot on both ends to make bone shapes.

Butter it up

Place the shaped dough on the baking sheet. Brush generously with melted butter using a pastry brush.

Add the cheese

Sprinkle Parmesan first, then mozzarella evenly over the top.

Bake

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Serve

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.
