Preparation

  2. Divide the pizza dough into 10 equal portions and roll each into a rope about 8 inches long.
  3. Shape the ends of each rope to be thicker than the middle to mimic bone shapes. Place on baking sheets.

  2. Bake for about 15 minutes or until they begin to turn golden.
  3. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle mozzarella cheese over each breadstick.
  4. Return to oven and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes, until the mozzarella is melted and bubbling.
Serving
