How to Make Cheesy Breadstick Tower

- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Italian herbs if using. Stir well to combine.
- Take the breadstick dough and divide it into equal pieces, about 1 inch thick. Roll each piece into a long stick, approximately 6-8 inches long.
- Arrange the breadsticks vertically, standing them up on the prepared baking sheet. You can lean them against each other for support, creating a tower-like shape.
- Brush the butter mixture generously over the breadsticks, ensuring they are well coated.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the breadsticks, allowing some to fall down the sides for extra cheesiness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Cheesy Breadstick Tower warm!
