Mozzarella Breadsticks

 Ingredients

1(16-ounce) bag deli pizza dough ( I used a can of pizza dough)

3 mozzarella cheese sticks  cut into fourths ( I used string cheese and fourths)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 tablespoon fresh parsley or a sprinkle of dried parsley

1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning  

1 teaspoon of garlic powder 

Paula deen has you line a baking sheet with parchment paper, but I didn't line mine with parchment paper. She has you roll out the dough on a lightly covered surface and cut the dough into strips and place the 3 cheese pieces in the center of the dough and wrap the dough around the cheese pinching seam to seal. place the seal side down on the baking sheet. Let it rise for 30 mins until puffed. 

Preheat oven according to what is on the can. 

I put the pizza dough on a cutting board and cut it into strips and then I placed  3 cheese pieces in the center of the dough and wrap the dough around the cheese pinching seam to seal. place the seal side down on the baking sheet. Then I put melted butter on each one and sprinkled on the parsley, Italian seasoning, and the garlic powder.

Then I baked it for 15 mins until it was golden brown and the cheese was bubbling. Let it stand for 10 minutes and serve warm with marinara sauce warmed up on the side.
