Homemade Pizza Sticks are a quick and easy snack made with pizza dough, mozzarella, pepperoni, and buttery garlic seasoning. Perfect for dipping and ready in just 20 minutes!
Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Slice the Pizza Dough:
On a clean surface, unroll the pizza dough and use a knife or pizza cutter to divide it into 8 equal rectangles.
Add Fillings:
Place 3-4 slices of pepperoni in the center of each rectangle. Lay one mozzarella cheese stick on top of the pepperoni.
Roll and Seal:
Carefully roll the dough around the filling, ensuring the edges and ends are tightly sealed to prevent any leaks during baking.
Prepare the Butter Mixture:
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture generously over each pizza stick to enhance flavor and promote browning.
Bake the Pizza Sticks:
Arrange the rolled sticks on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and slightly crisp on top.
Serve:
Allow the pizza sticks to cool slightly before serving. Pair with marinara or ranch dipping sauce for the best flavor experience.
