Directions to Make Spinach Dip Breadsticks
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare Spinach Dip Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the thawed and drained spinach, sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface. You should have two rectangles of dough from the two cans.
Spread the Spinach Dip: Evenly spread the spinach dip mixture over one of the rectangles of dough.
Top with Second Dough Layer: Place the second rectangle of dough on top of the spinach dip mixture.
Cut into Strips: Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into strips, about 1 inch wide.
Twist the Strips: Twist each strip a few times and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the Breadsticks: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and cooked through.
Brush with Butter: Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve: Allow the breadsticks to cool slightly before serving warm.

Tips for Perfect Spinach Dip Breadsticks
Thaw and Drain Spinach: Make sure to thaw and drain the spinach well to avoid excess moisture in the breadsticks.
Even Spreading: Spread the spinach dip mixture evenly to ensure each breadstick has a good amount of filling.
Twisting Technique: Twist the dough gently to avoid tearing but enough to give a nice spiral shape.
Recipe Variations
Cheese Variations: Try using different cheeses like cheddar or Monterey Jack for a different flavor profile.
Herb Infusion: Add dried Italian herbs to the spinach dip mixture for an extra burst of flavor.
Spicy Kick: Mix in some red pepper flakes or diced jalapenos for a spicy version of these breadsticks.
How to Store Leftovers
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the breadsticks in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until warm.
