For the breadsticks
10 -
1 lb (450 g) pizza dough, room temperature
11 -
6 slices provolone cheese
12 -
1 1/4 cups (140 g) shredded low-moisture mozzarella
13 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
14 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
15 -
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
16 -
1 tablespoon chopped parsley, optional
17 -
Marinara or cheese sauce, for serving
# Instructions:
01 -
Let the pizza dough sit at room temperature for 25-30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shaved steak, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until just browned, then transfer to a plate.
03 -
Add onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms to the same skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and most moisture has cooked off. Stir in garlic and Worcestershire sauce, then return the steak to the pan.
04 -
Taste and season with the remaining salt as needed. Spread the filling on a plate and cool for about 10 minutes so it will not soften the dough too much.
05 -
Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12x14 inch rectangle. Lay provolone over one half, leaving a border, then add the steak filling and mozzarella. Fold the plain half over the filling and pinch the edges firmly.
06 -
Cut the stuffed dough into 8 breadsticks. Move them to the baking sheet seam side down. Mix melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning, then brush over the tops.
07 -
Bake for 16-18 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Rest for 5 minutes, sprinkle with parsley if using, and serve warm with marinara or cheese sauce.
# Good to know:
01 -
Let the filling cool before stuffing to help prevent soggy dough.
02 -
Use low-moisture mozzarella for the best melt without excess liquid.
