Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Let the pizza dough sit at room temperature, then dust your surface with flour and divide the dough into 10 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into an 8-inch long rope, making the ends slightly thicker to resemble bones. Snip each end of the rope about 1 inch deep and gently pull apart.
Place the shaped breadsticks on the lined baking sheets, leaving space between them.
Brush melted butter over each breadstick and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 15 minutes until they start to puff and turn light golden.
Remove from oven and sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top. Return to the oven for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving warm with marinara sauce.

Notes

For added flavor, mix garlic powder or Italian seasoning into the melted butter before brushing. You can use different types of cheese or add herbs for variation.
