3. Roll Out the Dough
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll the risen dough into a 12×16-inch rectangle.
4. Add the Filling and Cheese
Evenly spread the steak and veggie mixture over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded provolone and mozzarella cheeses over the filling.
5. Fold and Cut
Carefully fold the dough in half lengthwise, encasing the filling inside. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the folded dough into 12-16 strips (about 1 inch wide). Twist each strip a few times to seal the filling inside.
Arrange the twisted strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
6. Brush and Sprinkle Toppings
Whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush each breadstick generously with the egg wash for a beautiful golden crust. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and dried parsley over the top for extra flavor and a visually appealing finish.
7. Bake to Perfection
Place the breadsticks in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until they turn golden brown and the cheese inside is bubbling.
8. Serve Warm
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like marinara, ranch, or a spicy cheese dip.
