Prep Time: 15 min | Cook Time: 20 min | Total Time: 35 min

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour (for dusting)
• 1 pound pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Shape the Dough:
   Let the pizza dough come to room temperature. Lightly dust your surface with flour, then divide the dough into 10 equal parts. Roll each into an 8-inch rope, making the ends slightly thicker.
3. Create the “Bones”:
   Use kitchen scissors to snip about 1 inch into each end of the dough ropes. Gently pull apart to form a bone shape 🦴.
4. Butter & Cheese:
   Place bones on the baking sheets, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
5. Bake Round One:
   Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden and puffed.
6. Melty Mozzarella Time:
   Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the tops and bake for another 5–7 minutes, until melted and bubbly .
7. Serve:
   Let cool slightly and serve warm with marinara dipping sauce — it even looks like spooky “blood”!

Pro Tips

• Room Temp Dough: Cold dough resists shaping — let it warm up first.
• Avoid Overloading Cheese: Too much can make the breadsticks soggy.
• Make-Ahead Magic: Bake ahead and reheat in the oven for party ease!
