Guys, listen. I have something important to tell you about, and that thing is Twisted Pizza Breadsticks! You are going to love these!
These little sticks of heaven are made using frozen bread dough and are pretty easy and very fun to make. They have gameday snack, party food, or even pizza night dinner written all over them!
Instead of telling you a story about how we ate a whole batch of these pizza breadsticks for lunch this weekend, I’ll show you a photo tutorial of how to make them instead.
First, roll two one-pound loaves of thawed bread dough into 1/2″ thick rectangles on floured boards.
Next, spread a little pizza sauce over one rectangle, and sprinkle with mini pepperonis and shredded mozzarella.
Now, arrange the other rectangle of dough over the top, press it down, and slice it into about 1″ wide strips.
Twist each strip, place it on a baking sheet, and sprinkle with parmesan and Italian seasoning. Bake at 400 degrees F.
Dip those suckers into pizza sauce, eat, and repeat!

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Roll each loaf of dough to a ½” thick rectangle on a well-floured surface (seriously, don’t forget the flour).
- Spread about 3 tbsp. pizza sauce over one rectangle of dough. You only want enough to just coat the surface or else it will be really messy when you get to the twisting step. (Don’t worry, there will be plenty of sauce for dipping!)
- Sprinkle about ½. pepperoni and 1 c. mozzarella over the sauce, and arrange the other rectangle dough over the top.
- Press the top dough down evenly, and then slice the dough into strips about 1½” wide. Carefully twist each strip of dough, and place the breadsticks on two baking sheets lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Sprinkle parmesan and Italian seasoning over the top of the twisted sticks.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until tops are golden brown.
- Serve with ample pizza sauce for dipping, and enjoy!

Great looking website. Think you did a whole lot of your own html coding.
I made these last week and they were delicious, my husband and kids loved them! I will definitely be making these again. Visiting from http://kidscraftsandcakes.blogspot.com
So glad to hear it, Krystal! Thanks so much!
Hey these look amazing! Just wondering if you could use pillsbury dough in like the can form. Just for simplicity sake. Thanks! :)
Hi, Kate! I think you could definitely try that. I think the canned dough is sometimes a little “floppier” so just be careful with it so it doesn’t rip. Also, I think it might bake faster. If you try it out, let me know how it turns out. Thank you!
hi may I know if I would to make doigh fresh, should I use pizza dough recipe or normal bread dough.. As I see there is no proofing needed in the steps. Thank you:)
Hi, Mae! I think you could use either, but pizza dough might be better because it wouldn’t puff up as much. Thanks for asking!
Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe… a question, can i use home made basic pizza dough?
I think that should work, Caroline! Let me know how it goes :)
Hi!
Do you think I could make these ahead of time like in the morning and bring them to a cookout in the afternoon?
Thanks.
Hi, Jillian! Yes, you could definitely make them ahead of time. I think we grazed on them over an afternoon, and they were still plenty good after cooling off. Do watch them during baking though because I think the cook time depends on your dough. One reader said hers burned on the bottom, so I think you just have to adjust for your oven and dough. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
Is there any alternative kind of dough? If not, what kind of bread dough is it?
Hi, Anna. I used frozen white bread dough like Rhodes brand. You could also try these with refrigerator French bread dough like Pillsbury, but watch them while they bake since I’m not sure if that dough will bake more quickly. Hope that helps!
I’m Brazilian and turns out I won’t have those products available for buying, so, as I am really interested in those twisted pizza breadsticks, I would like to know if you can get me any recipe for that dough so that I can make it myself, I’d be very pleased if so.
Thank you for your attention…
Sorry you don’t have the ingredients available, Anna! I think any basic French bread dough would work. If you don’t have one you like, I might try this one: http://www.steamykitchen.com/75-baking-the-perfect-loaf-of-french-bread.html I haven’t made it myself, but you can’t go wrong with Steamy Kitchen!
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you find another recipe you like here with ingredients that are easier to find in Brazil :)
We made these tonight. Ours turned out huge and a little burnt on the bottom. Only had them in 15 minutes. But we are going to try them again and make a few tweaks. They were good besides the bottom. :)
I’m sorry yours were burned on the bottom. Oven temps can vary, so maybe yours needs to be set to 350. I’m glad you liked it otherwise, and I hope they turn out even better next time!
