Irresistible Flavor: Rocketing to the top of your favorites with cheesy, savory goodness.
Eye-Catching Appeal: A fun and impressive dish that kids and adults love.
Flexible Serving: Perfect for snacks, appetizers, or even a light meal.
Diet-Friendly Options: Can easily be made vegetarian by swapping out the pepperoni for veggies.

Ingredients You’ll Need

1 tube refrigerated pizza dough (about 13-16 oz): This forms the base, giving you that classic pizzeria flavor and ease. Store-bought works perfectly here—just roll it out!
½ cup pizza sauce: This tangy sauce adds that beloved pizza taste. Feel free to use your favorite brand or homemade version.
1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese: The star ingredient, providing that melty goodness. Opt for whole milk mozzarella for the creamiest texture.
20-24 slices pepperoni: Chop these for even distribution. You could substitute with turkey pepperoni or even skip it for a vegetarian option.
1 tablespoon olive oil: This gives a lovely sheen to the breadsticks and enhances the flavor.
½ teaspoon dried oregano: Essential for that Italian herb flavor found in pizza.
½ teaspoon dried basil: Works well with oregano to elevate the herb mix.
¼ teaspoon garlic powder: Adds that rich garlic flavor reminiscent of your favorite garlic bread.
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese: For sprinkling on top, this adds a nice salty edge. You can use store-bought or freshly grated for a fresher taste.

How to Make Garlic Bread Twists Dominos

Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring a non-stick surface that will make cleanup a breeze.
Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured cutting board, roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a rectangle. Aim for an even thickness so your breadsticks cook uniformly.
Spread the Sauce and Fill: Take your pizza sauce and spread it evenly over half of the dough. Next, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce. Layer the chopped pepperoni slices on top, distributing evenly for a balanced bite.
Fold and Seal: Fold the plain half of the dough over the filled side. Gently press the edges together to seal everything in, creating a delightful pocket of flavor.
Slice and Twist: Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough into 1-inch strips. Grab each strip and twist it two times before placing it on the prepared baking sheet. This technique helps create those beautiful, spiraled shapes!
Brush and Sprinkle: Brush the tops of the twisted sticks with olive oil. Then sprinkle the dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, and grated parmesan cheese evenly over them. They’ll be bursting with flavor before you know it!
Bake to Perfection: Pop them in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and bubbling, making your kitchen smell heavenly. Serve warm with additional pizza sauce for dipping, and watch them disappear!

Storing & Reheating

These Twisted Pizza Breadsticks can be stored at room temperature for up to a day if you have any leftovers—though I doubt it! For longer storage, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you want to freeze them, wrap each twist tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 months. When reheating, pop them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through and crispy again. Just know that reheating may alter their original crispy texture a little, but a quick refresh in the oven can help!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Ensure your pizza dough is at room temperature before rolling it out. This makes it easier to stretch and shape.
Brush the tops generously with olive oil for a beautiful, shiny finish.
Experiment with herbs! Adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes can amp up the flavor for those who enjoy a bit of heat.
Keep an eye on them in the oven; oven temperatures can vary, and you want a perfectly golden-brown finish.
To save time, you can prepare the twists ahead and refrigerate them before baking. Just add an extra minute or two in the oven if they’re cold.

Perfect for sharing at your next get-together or savoring all by yourself, these Twisted Pizza Breadsticks are sure to win hearts and taste buds alike. Don’t shy away from personalization; toss in some veggies or different cheeses to make them your own. The kitchen is yours, and I invite you to create your twist on these crowd-pleasers!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use homemade pizza dough instead of store-bought?

Absolutely! Homemade dough can elevate this recipe even further. Just ensure you roll it out to a similar thickness for even cooking.

How do I make these breadsticks vegetarian?

Simply substitute the pepperoni with your favorite veggies like bell peppers, olives, or mushrooms for that same delicious twist without the meat!

What can I serve as a dipping sauce?

While pizza sauce is classic, you could also offer garlic butter, ranch dressing, or even marinara to mix things up. Let your guests choose!

How do I keep my breadsticks from becoming soggy?

Allow them to cool completely before storing. This prevents moisture buildup, which can lead to sogginess. Also, reheating in the oven can help regain that delightful crunch!
