Ingredients

• 1 pound Pizza dough
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Marinara sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle, approximately 12x8 inches.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Brush the surface of the dough evenly with the melted butter.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese, shredded Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.

Step 5

Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over half of the dough lengthwise. Fold the other half of the dough over the cheese and gently press down to seal.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the folded dough into strips about 1 inch wide.

Step 7

Twist each strip a few times to create the 'spiky' effect and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each strip.

Step 8

Bake the twists in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the Dinosaur Spikes cool for a few minutes.

Step 10

Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy your fun, dino-themed snack!
