Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Roll out the pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet into a rectangle or your preferred shape, ensuring an even thickness throughout.
Brush the top of the dough with the melted butter.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper evenly over the dough.
Layer the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the dough, ensuring the entire surface is covered.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly, and the edges of the dough are lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish, if desired.
Let cool slightly before cutting into strips and serving.

Notes

Herbed Breadsticks: Add extra herbs like basil, thyme, or rosemary to the dough or on top for more flavor.
Cheese Variations: Use a blend of mozzarella, cheddar, or any other cheese you like for different flavors.
Spicy Breadsticks: Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the cheese for a spicy kick.
Garlic Butter Breadsticks: Mix garlic into the butter before brushing it onto the dough for an extra layer of flavor.
Stuffed Breadsticks: Add a layer of cooked sausage, pepperoni, or veggies before baking for a heartier version.
