Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, try adding garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the pizza crust before baking. You can substitute the mozzarella with other cheeses like cheddar or parmesan for a different taste. If you're out of Ragu Pizza Quick sauce, marinara or any pizza sauce will work well too. Roll the dough thinner for crispier sticks.
Serving Suggestions
These pizza bread sticks are perfect as an appetizer or snack and pair wonderfully with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. For a complete meal, serve alongside a fresh salad or a bowl of Rich Chilled Banana Pudding for dessert. They also make a great addition to a game day spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the bread sticks in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes to restore their crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make them chewy.
