Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Cut the dough into strips about 1 inch wide and 6 inches long.

Place the strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper; brush with beaten egg.

Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese, black pepper, and cornmeal over the breadsticks.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
