Soak 10 bamboo skewers in warm water for at least 30 minutes. This prevents the skewers from burning in the oven. Alternatively, you can use metal skewers, which are reusable and heat resistant.
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Prepare a baking sheet by covering it with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Lightly spray the foil with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Unroll the pizza dough onto a lightly floured countertop. Make sure your surface is clean and dusted with flour to avoid any sticking issues.
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic salt, and fresh basil. This mixture is going to flavor the dough and give it a wonderful aroma.
Brush the pizza dough lightly with the garlic basil butter. Don’t be too heavy-handed; just a light coat will do.
Cut the dough lengthwise into 1-inch wide strips. Make sure they are evenly cut for uniform cooking.
Thread 5 to 7 mini pepperoni slices on each skewer. Leave enough space between each slice for the pizza dough to wrap around.
Starting at one end of a dough strip, pierce the dough with the pointed end of the skewer. Carefully spiral-wrap the dough around the pepperoni, exposing the meat as you go for a charming look.
Wrap the end of the dough strip around the bottom of the skewer to secure it. Press the dough together on each end to ensure it sticks well.
Place the prepared skewers on your baking sheet and brush the tops with any remaining garlic basil butter.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the pizza dough is light golden brown. You’ll know they’re done when your kitchen fills with an irresistible aroma!
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the tops with mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese. Allow the cheese to melt—if needed, place them back in the hot oven for a minute.
Serve your Pizza Sticks with pizza sauce for dipping. Enjoy every cheesy bite!
