Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Cheesy Breadsticks
Step 3: Roll Out the Dough
- Unroll the pizza dough on a floured surface and stretch it into a rectangle (about 10×14 inches).
- Cut the dough into 12–16 even strips (depending on desired size).
Step 4: Assemble the Breadsticks
- Place a small spoonful of the steak mixture at one end of each dough strip. Top with a piece of provolone cheese.
- Fold the dough over the filling and roll it up tightly, sealing the edges. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5: Bake
- Bake for 12–15 minutes , until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley.
Step 7: Finish & Serve
- Brush the garlic butter sauce generously over the baked breadsticks while they’re still warm. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top if desired. Serve hot with marinara sauce or ranch for dipping.
Why This Recipe Works
- Pizza Dough Base : Provides a soft, buttery shell that’s easy to work with.
- Philly Cheesesteak Magic : Combines steak, onions, peppers, and melty cheese for authentic flavor.
- Garlic Butter Drizzle : Elevates the dish with rich, aromatic flavor.
Variations to Try
- Spice It Up : Add diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for heat.
- Mushroom Lovers : Sauté mushrooms along with the onions and peppers.
- Gluten-Free Option : Use gluten-free pizza dough.
- Veggie Version : Substitute steak with sautéed mushrooms or plant-based meat.
- Extra Cheesy : Use a blend of provolone, mozzarella, and Parmesan for maximum gooeyness.
Tips for Success
- Don’t Overfill : Keep the filling compact to prevent leaks during baking.
- Seal Tightly : Pinch the dough edges securely to hold the filling inside.
- Storage : Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven for best texture.
- Freeze Ahead : Freeze unbaked breadsticks on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding 2–3 minutes to cooking time.
Serving Suggestions
- Game-Day Snack : Serve alongside wings, sliders, or nachos.
- Romantic Twist : Pair with a glass of red wine or sparkling water with lemon.
