From Scratch Pizza Breadsticks: Homemade Pizza Dough Stuffed with Mozzarella Cheese, Sprinkled with Parmesan and Spices, Paired with Marinara Sauce

 

One main rule I have for myself when it comes to eating is that if I want to eat something that would typically be processed, I have to find a way to make it from scratch. Doing this cuts out SO many chemicals and preservatives, and also tastes a lot better! The inspiration for this recipe stemmed from my past love of Pizza Hut breadsticks (anyone remember the Book It! program where you’d get a personal pan pizza for reading in grade school?!) and my boyfriend mentioning he used to love Pizza Sticks as a kid (which they used to serve in grade school cafeterias haha!). So this gave me an idea to create my own combination of the two – Pizza Sticks but with the Pizza Hut Breadstick topping. All from scratch. I am SUPER pleased with how they turned out, but this recipe definitely takes a huge hunk of time! I would save it for a day when you’re based in the house doing odds and ends (especially waiting for the dough to rise), or enjoying a lazy football Sunday! I promise, the time and effort are certainly worth it. Enjoy!
