Homemade Pizza Sticks
These Homemade Pizza Sticks are a fun and delicious appetizer or snack, perfect for a quick dinner or a party. Flaky pizza dough is filled with gooey mozzarella cheese and savory pepperoni, then rolled into a stick shape and baked until golden brown. Brushed with a garlic-butter mixture, these are an irresistible alternative to traditional pizza.
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
| Pizza dough | 1 (13.80 oz) can |
| Pepperoni slices | 6 oz |
| Mozzarella cheese sticks | 8 |
| Butter, melted | 3 tablespoons |
| Italian seasoning | 1 teaspoon |

How To Make Homemade Pizza Sticks:
- Preheat Oven & Prep: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Dough & Fill: On a clean surface, unroll the pizza dough and slice it into 8 even rectangles. Place 3-4 pepperoni slices in the center of each dough slice and then place a mozzarella cheese stick on top.
- Roll & Seal: Roll the dough around the contents, and be sure to pinch the dough to tightly close the seam and ends. Place the rolled sticks on the prepared baking sheet.
- Top & Bake: In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder and Italian seasoning into the melted butter. Use a pastry brush to coat each pizza stick with the mixture. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the tops begin to turn golden.
- Serve: Serve the pizza sticks warm with marinara or ranch for dipping.
