These breadstick bones are made from pizza dough, shaped like bones, and topped with Parmesan and mozzarella. They bake up crispy and cheesy, and are served with marinara sauce for dipping. A fun and easy Halloween treat that both kids and adults will love.

Ingredients

All-purpose flour, for dusting work surface

1 pound homemade or store-bought pizza dough

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Homemade or store-bought marinara sauce, for serving

Directions

Set your oven to 375°F. Get out two baking sheets and cover them with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Dust your countertop lightly with flour.

Split the dough into 10 even pieces. Shape each piece into an 8-inch long rope, making the ends a bit thicker. Place five ropes on each baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between them. Snip a 1-inch cut at both ends of each rope with scissors, then gently pull the cut parts apart to look like bone ends.

Paint the breadsticks with the melted butter, then dust them with the grated Parmesan. Bake for around 15 minutes, then take them out and sprinkle the mozzarella on top. Put them back in the oven for another 5 to 7 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly. Serve right away with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
