Pizza Dippers

For evenly baked pizza dippers, rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time.

Brushing the breadsticks with garlic butter can add an extra layer of flavor.

Try serving with a variety of dipping sauces like marinara, ranch, or garlic butter.

Using parchment paper or a silicone baking mat can make cleanup easier and prevent sticking.

Can I use homemade dough instead of refrigerated breadstick dough?

Yes, homemade dough can be used. Just roll it out, cut into strips, and follow the baking instructions.

What other cheeses can I use besides mozzarella?

You can use a blend of Italian cheeses such as Parmesan, Asiago, or provolone for different flavors.

Can I add toppings to these pizza dippers?

You can add chopped pepperoni, sliced olives, or diced bell peppers on top of the cheese, if desired. Just be careful not to overload the breadsticks or they may not cook evenly.

Can I prepare these in advance?

You can prepare the pizza dippers up to the point of baking and refrigerate them. Bake just before serving so they are fresh and crispy.

What can I use if I don't have pizza seasoning?

Make your own by mixing dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Or, try this recipe.

How do I store leftovers?

Store any leftover pizza dippers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to maintain crispness.

Can I freeze these pizza dippers?

Yes, you can freeze the baked pizza dippers. Reheat them in the oven directly from the freezer until warm and crispy.
