Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 beaten egg (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough and place it on a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, gently roll out the dough into a rectangular shape, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, crumbled cooked bacon, ranch dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley, and garlic powder. Stir until the ingredients are well-incorporated.
- Stuff the Breadsticks: Cut the rolled-out dough into long, even strips, about 1-inch wide. Place a spoonful of the cheese and bacon filling onto the center of each dough strip. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal, creating a stuffed breadstick.
- Brush and Bake: Arrange the stuffed breadsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops of the breadsticks with the beaten egg. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve Warm: Remove the Bacon Ranch Cheese Stuffed Breadsticks from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them warm, with additional ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauces on the side.
