Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15-18 minutes
Total Time: 30-35 minutes
Ingredients:
1 lb pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded provolone cheese (or mozzarella)
1/2 cup thinly sliced beef or steak tips (cooked)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp chili powder (optional, for a slight Tex-Mex touch)
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt, to taste
Marinara or cheese sauce (queso), for dipping
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle shape on a lightly floured surface.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil and minced garlic. Brush the garlic-infused olive oil evenly over the surface of the pizza dough.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and half of the shredded provolone (or mozzarella) over the dough.
Add thinly sliced beef, spreading it evenly over the dough. Sprinkle garlic powder, oregano, and salt on top.
Fold the dough over, pressing down lightly, and cut it into strips using a pizza cutter.
Twist each strip and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded provolone and chili powder (optional) on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve warm with marinara sauce or a cheesy queso dip.
Tips for the Best Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Cheesy Breadsticks:
Use quality steak – Thinly slice ribeye or sirloin for the most authentic flavor.
Sauté veggies well – Cook onions and bell peppers until soft and slightly caramelized for maximum taste.
Choose the right cheese – Provolone, mozzarella, or white American cheese melt beautifully inside the breadsticks.
Seal edges tightly – Pinch the dough edges well to prevent cheese from leaking out while baking.
Brush with garlic butter – A mix of melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley gives the breadsticks a golden, flavorful crust.
Use an air fryer – For extra crispiness, air-fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes.
