🧾 Ingredients List (Serves 4–6)
- 1 lb (450 g) pizza dough
- 1 lb (450 g) thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional Add-ons: grated Parmesan, red chili flakes, or dipping sauces (ranch, marinara, or spicy mayo)
👨🍳 Instructions
Step 1 – Preheat Oven
Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2 – Cook the Steak Filling
Heat a bit of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and bell peppers and sauté for 4–5 minutes, until softened. Add the sliced steak and cook until browned and cooked through (about another 4–5 minutes). Season generously with salt and black pepper. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3 – Roll Out the Dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle—about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 4 – Assemble the Breadsticks
Spoon the steak mixture evenly down the center of the dough. Top with shredded mozzarella and provolone cheese.
Step 5 – Seal the Breadsticks
Fold the long sides of the dough over the filling to enclose it completely. Pinch the edges to seal and gently flip the whole roll so the seam is facing down on the parchment-lined sheet.
Step 6 – Add the Finishing Touches
Brush the top with melted butter mixed with garlic powder. Optionally, sprinkle with Parmesan or chili flakes for extra flavor.
Step 7 – Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Step 8 – Slice and Serve
Let it cool slightly, then slice into sticks and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

💡 Tips for Perfect Stuffed Breadsticks
- Use quality steak: Ribeye is rich and tender, but sirloin works great too.
- Cheese matters: Mix mozzarella for stretch and provolone for flavor.
- Don’t overstuff: It’s tempting, but too much filling can cause the dough to tear.
- Let it rest: Allow a few minutes to cool before slicing so the cheese sets slightly.
