Pizza sticks are a delicious appetizer or snack that are perfect for parties, game days, or a quick and easy meal. They are made from pizza dough that is cut into strips, topped with your favorite pizza toppings, and baked until golden brown and crispy. This recipe provides two different methods for making pizza sticks: the classic method and a simplified method using pre-made pizza dough.
For the classic method, you will make your own pizza dough from scratch using simple ingredients like flour, water, yeast, sugar, and salt. The dough is then kneaded, rested, and rolled out before being cut into strips. Once the dough is cut, you can top it with your favorite pizza toppings. Some popular options include mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions, and peppers.
For the simplified method, you can use pre-made pizza dough from the store. This method is much quicker and easier, but it still results in delicious and crispy pizza sticks. Simply roll out the pre-made dough, cut it into strips, and top it with your favorite toppings.
Both methods result in delicious pizza sticks that are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.

FAIL-PROOF PIZZA DOUGH & CHEESY GARLIC BREAD STICKS RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:
- PIZZA DOUGH: In a large mixing bowl, preferably that of a stand mixer, stir yeast and honey into warm water. Sit for 5 to 10 minutes or until bubbles form and mixture starts to foam. This tells you that the yeast is alive and kicking. Pour in salt, oil and half the flour and mix. Once that flour is incorporated, start adding flour in bit by bit until you get the pizza dough to the consistency you want: slightly tacky, but when you touch it it doesn't stick to your hands. Once you reach this stage, turn the mixer on high to knead for 6 minutes. Turn a timer on and walk away! Resist the temptation to stop earlier than 6 minutes! That seems to be the magical number. The dough should be smooth and easy to work with and the bowl should be clean! Lightly grease the bowl & the dough so it doesn't dry out, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise 1to 2 hours. CHEESY GARLIC BREAD STICKS: Preheat oven to 500°F with pizza stone inside. Mix butter and garlic in a small bowl and set aside. Spread pizza dough out into a 12-inch circle on parchment paper. (This makes it easier to transfer to the pizza stone.) Spread the butter and garlic mixture over dough and top with parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Top with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper, if desired. Bake 9 to 10 minutes or until bubbly and golden. Remove from oven and cool 1 to 2 minutes before cutting. Serve hot, with marinara.

CHEESY PEPPERONI PIZZA STICKS
I saw this on Facebook and thought it sounded like a perfect appetizer for snacking on while watching a football game. It's just a step above the baked cheese sticks we usually order at our favorite sports bar. I changed the herbs so it incorporated more of our favorite Italian herbs. But the recipe can easily be adjusted...
