Bosco Sticks are an incredibly delicious and easy way to put a twist on a classic snack. They will take you back to your days in the school cafeteria when the food actually tasted good! Cheese lovers will rejoice at the combination of mozzarella cheese, butter, parmesan cheese and pizza dough that creates Bosco Sticks’ unique flavor. You can’t get this delicious flavor from the frozen food section (at least, not like you used to!)
Since its invention by Sylvester G. Powel in 1929, Bosco Sticks have remained a beloved favorite among food lovers of all kinds. They were a common school cafeteria snack and became even more popular in the late 1980’s.
What is on top of Bosco Sticks?I kept these classic like they used to be made, with just butter and grated parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. But, you can definitely add more seasonings like oregano, garlic powder, Italian seasonings or even some red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
Why is cheese oozing out?Don’t worry it can be normal for just a little bit of cheese to try to ooze out. Just be sure that you seal the edges very well.
Certainly! It doesn’t matter if you buy the pizza dough or make your own, just be sure it’s a pound of dough.
Can I add anything to the filling?Yes! This recipe is a great base recipe and perfect just the way it is. But, if you want to change it up a bit, try some of these ideas: pepperoni, cooked crumbled Italian sausage, or any of your favorite chopped veggies inside that you may add to a pizza. They’d all go great, just don’t overstuff the sticks.
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container and kept in the refrigerator for up to a week. Keep leftovers longer by freezing them for up to a month.
How to reheat leftovers?It’s super simple! Reheat leftovers by using the microwave or placing them into the oven until they’re warmed all the way through.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and set aside. On a lightly floured, clean work surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rough 16×8 inch rectangle.
Cut the pizza dough into 8 even strips.
Place one string of cheese into the center of each strip of dough.
Fold the outer flaps of dough over the cheese. Seal the edges all around the cheese very well. Roll the breadstick into a log and place it seam-side down onto the prepared sheet tray.
Repeat with the rest of the sticks and place all on the baking sheet.
Brush the breadsticks with half of the butter and top with half of the parmesan. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden brown.
Brush the remaining butter on the hot breadsticks and sprinkle on the remaining parmesan. Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
