Pepperoni Pizza Sticks
"These soft and chewy breadsticks are filled with cheese and pepperoni in every bite. They are great for lunch, snacks, appetizers, and grab-n-go dinners. They are fun to make with kids and the kids have even more fun eating them! My kids love these! Serve with a salad for a complete meal. You can cheat and use refrigerated pizza dough from the stores, but I like to make my own."

- Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle.
- Cut dough into 16 even rectangles.
- Place 3 slices of pepperoni and 1 cheese stick on each.

- Brush each one with the melted butter.
- Combine the seasonings and evenly sprinkle over each stick.
- Bake at 375 degrees for about 18 minutes or until lightly golden brown.

I have five wonderful kids who are always telling me they are hungry! I enjoy trying out new recipes and looking through cooking blogs, recipe books, and of course all the wonderful recipes on zaar. My children also enjoy helping me in the kitchen. I am a former elementary teacher and now a stay at home mom who is married to an absolutely amazing, hard-working man. We love the LORD and we try to instill values and teach HIS Word to our children every chance we get.
