Ingredients

1 pound Homemade Pizza Dough Or you can buy store bought.
5 package Mozzarella String Cheese sticks halved lengthwise any flavor
1/4 Cup Cheddar Cheese grated
1 Tablespoon melted butter optional
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt optional
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning optional

Instructions

Roll out Pizza Dough fairly thin, in an oblong shape. Making sure that the dough is wide enough for string cheese with a 1/2 inch or so on end
Cut dough into sections and cut one string cheese in 1/2 or 1/4ths..however cheesy you want the middle
Lay a piece of string cheese in the middle of each piece of dough
Now roll up and put onto baking sheet close together…so that they become a pull apart when cooked…then sprinkle with Cheddar Cheese..
I always use cornmeal on my baking sheets when cooking breads or pizzas. It makes them not stick
Then bake at 375 degrees for about 15 min..or until golden brown.

Storing & Freezing Leftovers

These freeze beautifully, which makes them perfect for busy weeks AND school lunches!

To freeze after baking: Let them cool completely, then store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven at 350° until warmed through, the microwave will work in a pinch, but the oven keeps that outside nice and crispy. If you like them extra crispy an air fryer works great, but make sure they are thawed first or they may burn before the inside is reheated and melty.

Leftovers in the fridge? Keep them in an airtight container for 3-4 days. A quick reheat in the oven or air fryer brings them right back to life.
