Description

This Cheesy Halloween Breadstick Bones recipe is a fun and festive twist on traditional breadsticks, perfect for Halloween parties or spooky snacks. Soft and golden breadsticks shaped like bones are brushed with butter, topped with Parmesan, baked to perfection, then melted with gooey mozzarella cheese. Served warm with marinara sauce for dipping, these breadsticks combine crunch, cheese, and holiday spirit in every bite.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Dough

  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • All-purpose flour (for dusting)

Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Serving

  • Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Dough: Allow the pizza dough to sit at room temperature for easier handling. Dust your work surface with all-purpose flour. Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces to form individual breadsticks.
  3. Shape Breadsticks: Roll each piece into an 8-inch long rope, making the ends slightly thicker to mimic the shape of bones. Snip each end about 1 inch deep and gently pull apart to create the bone-like appearance.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the shaped breadsticks on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring there is enough space between each for even baking.
  5. Brush and Sprinkle: Brush melted butter evenly over each breadstick and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor and a golden crust.
  6. Bake Initial: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the breadsticks start to puff up and turn a light golden brown color.
  7. Add Mozzarella: Remove the breadsticks from the oven and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each. Return to the oven.
  8. Final Bake: Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the mozzarella melts and becomes bubbly and slightly golden.
  9. Serve: Allow the breadsticks to cool slightly before serving them warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day or refrigerate for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
  • For best results, bring pizza dough to room temperature before shaping to avoid tearing.
  • If desired, add garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the butter for extra flavor.
  • These breadsticks are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can be reheated in a warm oven to regain crispness.
