Instructions

Step 4: Prepare the Garlic Butter Topping
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt.
- Brush the garlic butter generously over the rolled-out dough.
Step 5: Add the Cheese Topping

- Optionally, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for added flavor and color.
Step 6: Bake the Breadsticks

- Remove from the oven and let the breadsticks cool slightly.
Step 7: Slice and Serve
- Slice the bread into sticks or squares while still warm.
- Serve with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
