Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ball Homemade Pizza Dough
  • 12 strips Thick Center Cut Bacon
  • 0.25 cup Butter, melted
  • 1.5 cups Shredded Parmesan Cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures even cooking and a perfectly crisp texture.
  • Roll out the homemade pizza dough into an oval or rectangular shape, about 12 inches long by 8 inches wide. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 12 strips. Make sure the strips are even for uniform cooking.
  • Place a strip of uncooked bacon on each piece of dough. Twist the dough with the bacon, creating a candy cane-like shape. This unique shape helps the bacon cook evenly and adds visual appeal!
  • Brush each breadstick with melted butter and then roll them in the shredded parmesan cheese. This not only adds flavor but also creates a delightful crust.
  • Place the bacon-wrapped breadsticks on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Baking them on a rack allows air to circulate, ensuring the bacon gets perfectly crispy. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the breadsticks are golden brown.
  • Once done, remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. This brief cooling period helps to set the cheese and makes them easier to handle.
  • Enjoy your bacon parmesan breadsticks with a side of spaghetti marinara sauce for dipping. It's a match made in culinary heaven!

Notes

For a twist, try adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or dried herbs to the melted butter before brushing it on the breadsticks.
