21-pound balls of pizza dough
4Tbspunsalted buttermelted
1Tbspchopped fresh parsleyplus more for garnishing
½tspkosher salt

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set baking sheet aside.
Cut one block of the Monterey Jack lengthwise into 8 long pieces of cheese. Repeat process with the 2nd block of cheese, but only cut half of the block. This will create 4 long pieces for a total of 12 pieces. Grate the remaining ½ block of cheese. Set both the pieces and shredded cheese aside.
Working on a lightly floured work surface, roll each piece of pizza dough into a 10”x18” rectangle.
Lay one piece of dough on a large cutting board. Line the 12 pieces of cheese up evenly across the length of the rectangle. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly across top.
Lay the 2nd piece of dough on top. Press pieces of dough tightly together to seal around each piece of cheese.
Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut in between each piece of cheese to create 12 stuffed breadsticks. Pinch the dough tightly together around each piece of cheese.
Place the stuffed breadsticks on prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until breadsticks are light golden brown.
Meanwhile, using a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, parsley, salt, garlic powder and oregano.
Remove the breadsticks from the oven and brush tops with garlic butter.
