The Most Delicious Homemade Garlic Cheese Breadsticks Recipe EVER
For a website with the name “Cakes” in the title, you would think that the most popular recipe on my site would be a cake right? Not quite. The most popular recipe at the time I wrote this was my homemade garlic bread and second place is my Real Deal Caramel Cake. Bananas right?
Not one week goes by without me receiving an email or comment about how delicious it is. Well I thought I would share another recipe that could be considered a cousin to my garlic bread, this Garlic Cheese Breadsticks Recipe.
Now I warn you right here and now that these things are GOOOOOOOOD and SOOOOO addictive. You won’t be able to put these down at all. The idea to create this recipe came from the hubby. In his youth, he used to deliver pizzas back in the day at Pizza Hut to get extra cash. He loved their breadsticks, and thought I should put some on the site. I obliged like a good wife. And I must admit, I am glad I did.
How To Make Cheesy Breadsticks
This garlic cheese breadsticks recipe puts Pizza Hut and all pizza chains around the country to shame. The breadsticks start with my easy pizza dough recipe which is perfectly chewy and flavorful (thanks to a hint of garlic salt) on the inside but crispy on the outside.
Next I brushed on a melted garlic and Italian seasoning butter which then got completely covered by a thick layer of shredded cheeses, parmesan and parsley.
Once baked, it became heavenly. Serve with warm pizza sauce on the side if you wish or as is. Either way, these breadsticks are delicious!
Don’t believe me? Make these and see for yourself. In fact, these would be absolutely perfect for the Super Bowl or on emotional eating days, which I allow myself once a month.

I’ve made this recipe many times now and everyone loves it!! I give it away as gifts even. It’s really easy to make, fast and sooooo yummy!!!
We love this wonderful bread and so do our guests. It’s a home run!
I have made this so many times and every time it is fantastic. This recipe is flawless! Highly recommend.
These are delicious, so easy and will make even your pickiest eater happy! I came across this recipe because I wasn’t in the mood (too lazy ) to go to the store or to make scratch French bread for my last minute marinara pasta dinner. These turned out perfect! Everyone in the family enjoyed them. I will definitely be making these again! The recipe is very forgiving too, I didn’t have any Italian seasoning and just subbed basil, oregano and some parsley. Add whatever seasonings your family prefers, you can never go wrong with delicious dough and melted cheese, in fact I’m thinking of using the recipe for ‘garlic bread pizza .’ A quick and easy tip, Costco’s Kirkland brand Marina is fantastic and makes a great dipping sauce, it would also be yummy to use as pizza sauce, it’s one of the best jarred sauces I’ve found. I love to mix it with basil roasted tomatoes that I’ve put up from our summer garden tomatoes. No canning is needed, they freeze beautifully! Wonderful to use all winter in soups, stews, chili’s and of course pasta.
