Pizza Breadsticks are a great appetizer of a combination of breadsticks with pizza flavor and sauce to dip them in.
Jump to RecipeAt our house, we love both bread and pizza. I’ve made all types of pizza including pizza flatbread and pizza tacos. So why not pizza breadsticks?
We made some regular breadsticks in the past, so I used that recipe to start and added the pizza. You can add any other pizza toppings to the breadsticks you may want. Tyler, Ryan, and I like just cheese, so we stuck with that. Justin likes more than that, so I will add some toppings to his before baking.
You can make these as a side dish to go with other Italian meals, or as an appetizer. We ended up making dinner out of them.
