And on this lovely Tuesday afternoon, I bring you…
Bosco sticks. Yes, you read that right. These glorious, cheesy breadsticks basically transport you back to middle cafeteria cheese sticks days but, like, way better. And the best part? You can make them at home in under 30 minutes.
What are bosco sticks? We’re talkin’ soft, buttery breadsticks oozing with melty mozzarella cheese, all wrapped up in a golden, flaky crust. It’s comfort food in its purest form. You can’t go wrong with cheesy carbs, am I right? 🙌
Now, I’m all about the flavors in this house, y’all. Bland is a four-letter word around here, whether we’re talking about food or life. Bosco cheese stick? They’re anything but bland. Trust me, these bad boys are bringing all the cheesy goodness you could ever want, and they’re perfect for dipping in some warm marinara sauce. Seriously, just thinking about them is making my mouth water. 🤤
Where was I? Oh, right – the Bosco sticks.
It’s like 80 degrees here today, and you know what? Bosco stick doesn’t care about the weather. They’re the perfect snack whether you’re chilling in the AC or huddled up during a cold front. These things are a year-round mood, people.
So, when I asked the fam what they wanted for snack time, I got the usual “Eh, whatever.” (One day, I swear, I’m serving “Whatever” on a plate. For real.) But this momma wasn’t about to let that fly, so I whipped up some Bosco max sticks, and suddenly, everyone was paying attention.

Ingredients Used to Make Bosco Sticks
You don’t need many ingredients to create these cheesy delights—just a few simple things you probably already have at home.
- Pizza dough: 1 lb (store-bought or homemade—your choice!)
- Mozzarella cheese sticks: 8 sticks (you know, the string cheese kind!)
- Butter: 2 tbsp, melted
- Garlic powder: 1 tsp (for that garlic butter goodness)
- Parmesan cheese: 1 tbsp (optional, but who doesn’t love more cheese?)
- Marinara sauce: For dipping (because cheesy breadsticks need a good dip)
How to Make Bosco Sticks
Ready to bake some cheesy, doughy goodness? Let’s go!
- Preheat the oven. Set it to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will keep your Bosco Sticks from sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Roll out the dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Cut the dough into 8 equal strips.
- Wrap the cheese. Place a mozzarella stick in the center of each dough strip. Fold the dough over the cheese and pinch the edges to seal it tightly. Make sure there are no gaps—trust me, you don’t want the cheese escaping while baking!
- Brush with garlic butter. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder. Brush each Bosco Stick generously with the garlic butter mixture. If you’re feeling extra cheesy, sprinkle a little Parmesan on top for good measure.
- Bake. Pop the Bosco Sticks into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and the cheese inside is melty and gooey.
- Serve and dip. Let the Bosco Sticks cool for a couple of minutes (if you can wait that long!) before serving them with warm marinara sauce for dipping. Then, dig in!
That's a wrap! Now you can whip up these amazing Bosco Sticks from the comfort of your own kitchen. Soft, cheesy, and bursting with garlicky goodness, they're ideal for dipping and guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser whether it's movie night, game day, or just a casual snack attack. Get ready for everyone to go back for more – these little guys are irresistible! Enjoy!
