| Preheat oven to 425 degrees. |
| Prepare dipping sauce by combining all the ingredients in a small, uncovered saucepan and bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer the mixture for 1/2 hour. Can be made ahead and refrigerated for several days. |
| Prepare the pizza sticks by first proofing the dough. Unroll the dough onto a cutting board and straighten the edges. It should form a rectangle that is longer from left to right than top to bottom. With a pizza cutter, slice through the middle of the dough lengthwise. This will divide the rectangle into 2 thinner rectangles that will measure 4 to 5 inches from top to bottom. Slice the dough from top to bottom into 1 1/2-inch wide pieces. You should have somewhere between 20 to 24 dough slices. |
| Place the slices onto a greased cookie sheet about 1/2-inch apart and bake for 3 minutes. You may have to use more than one cookie sheet. This will proof the dough so it becomes stiff. |
| Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan or deep fryer to 350 degrees. Oil should be at least 1/2-inch deep if using the stove. You will want to use more oil if using a deep fryer. |
| Fry pizza sticks 5 to 6 at a time until they are dark golden brown. Remove from oil onto a paper towel to drain. When all the pizza dough sticks are fried, arrange them on foil-lined cookie sheets. |
| Preheat the broiler. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese evenly over the mozzarella. Combine the oregano , basil , caraway seeds and garlic salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the cheese. If using the pepperoni and sausage , sprinkle that on now. Broil the pizza sticks for 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve hot with dipping sauce on the side. |
