How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Cheesy Breadsticks
Ingredients
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese (or mozzarella)
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced beef (cooked)
- 1/4 tsp chili powder (optional, for a slight Tex-Mex touch)
- Salt, to taste
- Marinara or cheese sauce (queso), for dipping
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle shape on a lightly floured surface.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil and minced garlic. Brush this garlic-infused olive oil evenly over the pizza dough.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and half of the shredded provolone (or mozzarella) over the dough.
- Add the thinly sliced cooked beef, spreading it out evenly.
- Season with garlic powder, oregano, and a bit of salt to taste.
- Fold the dough over gently, pressing down lightly. Cut it into strips using a pizza cutter.
- Twist each strip and place them onto your prepared baking sheet.
- Top with the remaining shredded provolone and a sprinkle of chili powder, if you like a kick.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Serve warm with marinara sauce or cheesy queso dip for an extra tasty treat!
