Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangular shape to create a base for the fillings.
Add Garlic and Cheese Base: Mix the olive oil and minced garlic in a small bowl, then brush this evenly over the rolled-out dough to infuse it with flavor.
Layer the Cheese and Beef: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and half of the shredded provolone cheese evenly over the garlic-brushed dough. Then spread the thinly sliced cooked beef on top. Season with garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt to taste.
Fold and Cut the Dough: Carefully fold the dough over to cover the fillings, pressing lightly to seal the edges. Using a pizza cutter, cut the folded dough into strips, creating individual breadsticks.
Twist and Arrange on Baking Sheet: Twist each dough strip gently to expose some of the filling and place them spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining provolone cheese and chili powder (if using) on top of the twisted breadsticks for extra flavor.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the breadsticks turn golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the cheesy stuffed breadsticks warm with marinara sauce or queso cheese sauce for dipping, enhancing their rich flavors.

Notes

You can substitute provolone with mozzarella for a milder flavor.
Make sure the beef is cooked before adding to the dough to ensure food safety and proper texture.
For a spicier kick, increase the chili powder or add red pepper flakes.
These breadsticks are best served fresh but can be reheated in the oven to restore crispiness.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
