How to Make Cheesy Breadsticks
- Prepare the dough

Cover the dough with a clean, dry cloth and let it rest for 60 minutes in a warm place. - Preheat the oven
Near the end of the resting time, preheat the oven to 230°C / 445°F, using top and bottom heat. - Prepare the garlic butter
In a small bowl, mix the butter with the chopped garlic until well combined. - Assemble
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Spread the dough evenly over the tray. Brush with garlic butter, add a light layer of tomato sauce, and sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan evenly on top. - Bake
Bake for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly golden. - Slice and serve
