Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb pizza dough
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced beef or steak tips, cooked
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
Cheeses and Seasonings:
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt, to taste
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Marinara or cheese sauce (queso), for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 425°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cooking surface.
- Carefully stretch the pizza dough into a rectangular shape on a lightly floured workspace, ensuring an even 1/4-inch thickness.
- Create a fragrant garlic-infused oil by blending olive oil with finely minced garlic, then delicately brush the entire dough surface with this aromatic mixture.
- Distribute a layer of Parmesan cheese across the dough, followed by half of the provolone. Evenly spread the pre-cooked beef mixture over the cheese, then season with garlic powder, oregano, and a subtle salt sprinkle.
- Gently fold the dough over the savory filling, applying light pressure to seal the ingredients. Slice the folded dough into uniform strips using a sharp pizza cutter.
- Transform each strip by twisting it elegantly and positioning on the prepared baking sheet. Generously top with remaining provolone and optional chili powder for an extra kick.
- Bake the breadsticks until they achieve a golden-brown exterior and crispy texture, approximately 12-15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately, accompanied by marinara or queso dipping sauce for an enhanced culinary experience.
Notes
- Enhance Flavor Depth by marinating beef in Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce for 30 minutes before cooking to infuse extra savory notes.
- Use Lean Ground Beef like sirloin or 90/10 ground beef to reduce greasiness while maintaining rich meaty taste.
- Create Gluten-Free Version by substituting regular pizza dough with cauliflower or almond flour-based dough for celiac-friendly option.
- Optional Vegetarian Swap replacing beef with sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions provides hearty alternative with similar texture and umami profile.
