Ingredients
Scale
Dough & Oil
- 1 lb pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Cheese & Cheese Powder
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese (or mozzarella), divided
- 1/4 tsp chili powder (optional, for a slight Tex-Mex touch)
Meat & Seasoning
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced beef or steak tips (cooked)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt, to taste
Dips
- Marinara or cheese sauce (queso), for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Roll Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangular shape to create the base for stuffing.
- Prepare Garlic Oil: In a small bowl, mix together olive oil and minced garlic, then brush this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough for flavor infusion.
- Add Cheese and Beef: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and half of the shredded provolone over the dough. Evenly spread the thinly sliced cooked beef on top. Season with garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt to enhance the savory profile.
- Fold and Cut: Fold the dough over to cover the fillings and press down gently to seal. Use a pizza cutter to slice the folded dough into strips.
- Twist and Top: Twist each strip carefully and place them spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining shredded provolone and optional chili powder on top for extra flavor and a slight kick.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the breadsticks turn golden brown and crispy, indicating they’re perfectly cooked.
- Serve: Serve the warm stuffed cheesy breadsticks with marinara sauce or cheesy queso dip for a delicious dipping experience.
Notes
- Use cooked steak tips or thinly sliced beef to ensure thorough cooking during baking.
- Chili powder is optional and adds a slight Tex-Mex twist to the flavor.
- Make sure to seal the dough edges well to prevent filling leakage while baking.
- These breadsticks are best enjoyed fresh and warm straight from the oven.
- Substitute provolone with mozzarella for a milder cheese flavor if preferred.
