These soft, buttery garlic breadsticks are perfect for dipping into a rich, homemade marinara sauce. A crowd-pleasing appetizer or side dish.

Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough, room temperature
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 (14 oz) can crushed tomatoes
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt. Set aside.
3. On a lightly floured surface, divide pizza dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-inch long rope. Place on prepared baking sheet.
4. Brush each breadstick with garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. While baking, make the marinara sauce.
6. In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes.
7. Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
8. Serve breadsticks warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Tips

• For extra garlic flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder to the butter mixture.
• Leftover marinara can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• If using store-bought dough, let it come to room temperature for easier shaping.
