Cheesy Breadsticks

I have to be honest, I think I’ve only had Domino’s cheesy breadsticks once.  Not that I didn’t love them, but I’d rather eat pizza.  That is more insulin worthy!  These breadsticks can definitely be incorporated into your Weight Watchers journey or macros.

But I found myself with a batch of sourdough bread, and wanted to make something other than a loaf of bread, and this could not be easier.  Fun fact, you don’t need sourdough for this recipe.  You can use store bought pizza dough, or make a batch of skinny pizza dough.  You’ll need about a pound of dough for these fluffy cheesy breadsticks.

Ingredients

  • pizza dough (or sourdough)
  • mozzarella cheese
  • colby jack cheese (or other cheese of choice)
  • butter
  • seasonings:  dried parsley, oregano and garlic powder

Cheesy Bread Sticks

Yield: 8 breadsticks
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Hannah loves Domino's cheesy bread sticks and these turned out amazing. Feel free to use a batch of your own sourdough, store bought pizza dough, or a batch of Skinny Pizza Dough.

Ingredients

  • Dough Options
  • Use one of the following:
  • Store-bought pizza dough
  • Homemade Skinny Pizza Dough
  • Sourdough bread dough (recipe below)
  • Sourdough Bread Dough (if using):
  • 1000 grams flour
  • 720 grams water
  • 200 grams sourdough starter
  • 20 grams salt
  • Note: Use dough after overnight bulk fermentation. This recipe uses half of the dough.
  • Pizza dough of choice (about 1 pound or half sourdough batch)
  • 3 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 ounces shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • Garlic Butter Topping
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll out dough into a large rectangle, about ¼-inch thick.

Add mozzarella evenly over one half of the rectangle.

Fold dough over the cheese to create a long rectangle. Crimp or press edges to seal.

Top with Colby Jack cheese, spreading evenly over the surface.

Cut into 8 breadsticks using a pizza cutter, keeping the rectangle intact (do not separate).

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and cheese is bubbly.

Make garlic butter while baking: melt butter and stir in parsley, garlic powder, and oregano.

Brush garlic butter evenly over the breadsticks immediately after removing from the oven.

Cool slightly, then pull apart and enjoy.

If you are new here, welcome to My Bizzy Kitchen! I started this blog 16 years ago to document my recipes and daily life, never imagining it would one day become my full-time career. After losing my husband 11 years ago, I navigated the hardest chapter of my life while still finding joy in cooking and sharing my journey.

In December 2020, I took a leap of faith and left my 30-year career as a legal secretary to pursue My Bizzy Kitchen full-time, a decision that changed my life.

Two years later, in October 2022, I was able to hire my daughter, Hannah, full-time, which brings me so much joy. Now, My Bizzy Kitchen is more than just recipes.  It’s about embracing life, finding balance, and making healthy living sustainable and fun.

Follow along for delicious recipes (mostly Weight Watchers friendly!), realistic weight loss tips, and my daily adventures on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook (@mybizzykitchen). Let’s get bizzy in the kitchen together!
