Pepperoni Pizza Sticks image

These soft and chewy breadsticks are filled with cheese and pepperoni in every bite. They are great for lunch, snacks, appetizers, and grab-n-go dinners. They are fun to make with kids and the kids have even more fun eating them! My kids love these! Serve with a salad for a complete meal. You can cheat and use refrigerated pizza dough from the stores, but I like to make my own.

Time 30m

Yield 16 pizza sticks, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons oil
1 cup warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
8 mozzarella string cheese, cut in half
48 slices pepperoni
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
pizza sauce, for dipping

Steps:

  • Make pizza dough: Mix the yeast in with the warm water. Combine all other dough ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add yeast water. Mix well with a dough hook. Add more flour if it is too sticky. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle.
  • Cut dough into 16 even rectangles.
  • Place 3 slices of pepperoni and 1 cheese stick on each.
  • Seal the dough well around the pepperoni and cheese so the cheese won't melt out. Repeat with all of them.
  • Place on a lightly greased baking sheet or a stone.
  • Brush each one with the melted butter.
  • Combine the seasonings and evenly sprinkle over each stick.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for about 18 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
  • Serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping, if desired.
