How to make pizza dough bread sticks
Ingredients:
Tip: homemade pizza dough totally works for this recipe as well. I just like how the Pillsbury crust cuts out some of the last minute prep work.
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Open the can of pizza dough and spread it out on a large flat surface in a rectangle shape.
3. Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough in half lengthwise and then into 1″ strips.
4. Twist each piece of dough twice to create a spiral design. Place the strips of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet.
Tip: press the ends of the dough firmly to the parchment paper lined baking sheet so that they stay in place and don’t unwind.
5. In a small bowl, beat the egg with a whisk or fork. Use a pastry brush to wash the top of each breadstick with egg.
6. Sprinkle the egg washed dough with everything bagel seasoning.
7. Bake the pizza dough sticks in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Tip: you may want to broil the sticks on low for a minute or two to crisp and brown the edges.
8. Once baked, pull apart the breadsticks and serve them with your next meal.
These pizza dough breadsticks are perfect for pairing with soup, stew or ceasar salad. We served them at our annual Elf Party on a giant charcuterie board.
These breadsticks can be stored in an airtight container or freezer bag for a week or in the freezer for up to three months.

Can’t wait to make these! Could you please tell me how many inches long are each of the 24 breadsticks? I’m trying to decide if I should cut the strips in half like you did or simply leave them as 12 longer strips. Thank you in advance for your ASAP reply!
Each bread stick is about 4″ long – enjoy!!
