Ingredients

1 pound (550g) pizza dough (homemade or store bought)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups (225g) shredded mozzarella cheese
⅓ cup (40g) grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon salt, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet, pizza stone or pizza pan, set aside.
Roll or stretch the dough into a 12x10" rectangle. (Don't worry about this being perfect)
Combine the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush over the shaped dough. Top with cheeses, herbs, and salt. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is melted.
Slice into breadsticks and serve with pizza sauce if desired.

Notes

If you are using a pizza stone: Preheat the stone while making the pizza. Be sure to make your pizza on a peel or a piece of parchment paper. Slide the pizza off the peel and on to the stone or transfer the pizza parchment paper and all on to the hot stone.
If choosing to make homemade pizza dough allow more prep time.
