2/3 cup Italian style panko crispy bread crumbs
See my Darlene’s Concoctions videos!
DIRECTIONS:
1: Heat oven to 375°F. Unroll dough sheet and press into rectangle, 12×8 inches. Using pizza cutter, cut rectangle into 6 rows by 4 rows to make 24 (2-inch) squares.
2: Place mozzarella stick in center of each rectangle. Bring dough up and around cheese sticks and press edges to seal.
3: Place melted butter in small bowl. Place bread crumbs in another small bowl. Dip each stick into butter and shake off excess. Roll in bread crumbs to coat. Place about 1 inch apart on ungreased large cookie sheet.
4: Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
Darlene’s Tips: Serve with warm marinara sauce or ranch dressing. Or both! Want it spicy? You could also add a slice or two of jalapeno pepper, one under the cheese and one on top of the cheese, then roll the dough over the whole thing. You could also add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to the bread crumbs.
