Ingredients
- 60 mini pepperoni slices
- 1 tube refrigerated pizza crust I used Pillsbury
- ¼ cup butter melted
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 12 bamboo skewers
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the pizza dough onto the baking sheet.
- Using a pizza cutter, cut dough lengthwise into 1-inch wide strips (12 strips).
- Thread 5 mini pepperoni slices on each skewer. Be sure to leave enough space between each slice for the pizza dough.
- Starting at the blunt end of the skewer, pierce the dough and spiral-wrap the strip around the pepperoni. Allow the meat to “peak” through. Finish off by piercing the dough onto the pointy end of the skewer.
- Place pizza skewers on the prepared baking sheet.
- Melt the butter.
- Mix together melted butter, garlic powder, and basil.
- Brush the pizza skewers lightly with garlic basil butter.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes or until pizza dough is light golden brown.
- Serve with pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Use your favourite pizza dough recipe if you prefer it over the refrigerated kind. Homemade dough comes together in a flash with a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment.
- Olive oil can be used in place of butter.
- Leftover breadsticks are best if they are reheated in the oven. Place them on a large baking sheet lined with parchment or cooking spray. Heat oven to 250°F and warm for ten minutes.
