Split dough in half and roll each ball of dough onto a floured surface. Knead a few times to ensure the dough is a uniformed ball.

Set one ball aside (this is for your pizza). Roll the other dough ball into a rectangle shape. Then using a pizza cutter cut the dough in half length wise and then vertically every 1″ or so. This will be the size of your sticks.

Top each breadstick with a brush of melted butter topped with the cinnamon and sugar mixture.

Bake for 15-22 minutes, or until golden brown.

While the cinnamon breadsticks are cooking, grab a small bowl and add in the powdered sugar and liquid. You can use heavy whipping cream, milk, plain water or even vanilla extract. Whisk the combination of two in a bowl until smooth and consistency that you like.

Remove from the oven and allow the breadsticks to cool for just a few minutes and then drizzle your icing onto the top. Allow the icing to harden before serving to the kiddos to prevent a sticky mess!
