Instructions
- Preheat your oven or pressure cooker pot with a baking rack inside to 425°F or use baking setting if multi-cooker.
- Sprinkle cornmeal lightly on the baking sheet if using, to prevent sticking and add crunch.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to about 12x8 inches rectangle for even baking.
- Brush the melted butter all over the dough to keep it tender after cooking.
- Sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning evenly on the dough surface (or fresh garlic and dried basil).
- Spread shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top in a nice, not too thick layer.
- Roll the dough tight from the longer side into a log, then cut into 1-inch slices.

- Enjoy hot cheesy breadsticks with optional marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature if eating within a day, or freeze wrapped tightly for longer storage. Reheat in oven or toaster oven to keep crust crisp.
