Cheesy Garlic Butter Breadsticks

Cheesy Garlic Butter Breadsticks

These breadsticks were outrageous! They were supposed to be a snacking appetizer for us but once we started noshing on them, we put everything else away for another night! They are that delicious. I used this homemade crust.  You can also use a dough from your favorite pizzeria to save a lot of time! Next time, I think I will up the oven to 450 for a little more crispness on the crust. I would also add some parsley right into the melted butter. You can use a homemade sauce to top these of your favorite jar. We love Rao’s….which I realized I was out of so I whipped up a quick sauce using a can of whole tomatoes, oil, butter, garlic, fresh oregano and 1/2 tsp. sugar. I just simmered until thick!
