Instructions
- Cook the spinach according to the instructions on the package. Once cooked, press the spinach into a colander to drain out as much liquid as possible. Set spinach aside. (Tip: Press spinach with paper towels to soak up the extra liquid.)
- Using a large sauté pan, add olive oil and place over medium heat. Once hot, add onions; sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring often.
- Add garlic, stir and continue sauteing for 1-2 more minutes.
- Add lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, chopped artichokes, kosher salt, paprika and drained spinach; stir until well combined. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until mixture begins to simmer (~5 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Working on a lightly floured cutting board, roll pizza dough into an 8”x10” rectangle.
- Spread spinach artichoke filling evenly on top of dough.
- Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice dough lengthwise to create (2) 8”x5” pieces. Next, cut each piece of dough widthwise into (8) 1” wide strips. This will give you a total of (16) 1”x5” pieces.
- Picking each piece up and twist it 2-3 times to create the twisted breadsticks. Place breadsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
- Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until breadsticks are golden brown on top.
- While breadsticks are baking, whisk together the melted butter, Italian seasonings and garlic salt.
- Remove pan from oven and brush butter mixture on top of breadsticks. Serve warm.
