Ingredients
  

1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup pepperoni slices (or your choice of toppings like cooked sausage, bell peppers, or olives)

½ cup marinara sauce (for dipping)

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon dried oregano

¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Flour (for dusting)

Olive oil (for brushing)

1 egg (for egg wash)

Sea salt (to taste)

Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.

      Add Fillings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over one half of the dough. Layer the pepperoni (or your chosen toppings) on top of the cheese.

        Season it Up: In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, dried oregano, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the toppings for added flavor.

          Fold and Seal: Carefully fold the other half of the dough over the cheese and toppings to create a pocket. Press down firmly on the edges to seal, using a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.

            Cut the Breadsticks: Using a pizza cutter or knife, slice the stuffed dough into 1-inch wide strips. You should have about 8-10 breadsticks.

              Brush and Season: Place the breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush the mixture over the top of each breadstick to give them a golden color as they bake. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the tops, if desired.

                Bake the Breadsticks: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown.

                  Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.

                    Enjoy: Dive into these cheesy pizza stuffed breadsticks and relish the gooey, flavorful center with every bite!
