How To Make Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Cheesy Breadsticks:
Ingredients :
– 1 pound pizza dough
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1/2 pound thinly sliced steak (like ribeye)
– 1 small onion, thinly sliced
– 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
– 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
– 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons melted butter
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Directions :
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prep a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Use a skillet to sauté onions, bell peppers, and steak in olive oil over medium heat until the veggies are soft and steak cooked.
3. Roll the pizza dough into a rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick on a floured surface.
4. Start with a layer of provolone cheese on half of the dough, then add the steak mixture, and mozzarella cheese on top. Fold the other half over and seal the edges.
5. Cut the filled dough into 8 even breadsticks and twist each to form a spiral. Place these on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Brush the breadsticks with a mix of melted butter and garlic powder.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving warm.
