  • Total Time: 27-30 minutes
  • Yield: 16-20 breadsticks

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large package pre-made pizza or breadstick dough
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Egg wash (1 beaten egg + 1 tablespoon water)
  • Marinara sauce for dipping (or runny cheese sauce)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by rolling out the pre-made pizza or breadstick dough into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle. Cut into strips approximately 1 inch wide and 4 inches long to form the ‘bones.’
  2. Shape each dough strip into a slightly curved ‘bone’ and place on a lined baking sheet, spacing evenly.
  3. Mix shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle generously over each dough bone, pressing lightly to adhere.
  4. Brush each breadstick with beaten egg wash for a shiny, golden finish.
  5. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 12-15 minutes until golden brown and cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  6. Let cool slightly, then arrange on a platter resembling a skeleton. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Prepare the breadsticks up to the baking stage and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • Reheat leftovers in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes for best texture.
  • You can substitute crescent roll dough for a different texture or gluten-free pizza dough if needed.
  • Add plastic spiders or faux cobwebs for a more eerie presentation.
