# Step-by-Step Guide:

03 - Cut the dough into 8 even strips using a knife or pizza cutter.
04 - Dry the pickle spears thoroughly with paper towels to avoid excess moisture.
05 - Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly along each dough strip.
06 - Place a pickle spear at one end of each dough strip, then season generously with Cajun seasoning and a dash of garlic powder.
07 - Roll the dough tightly around each pickle spear and pinch the seams to seal completely.
08 - Set wrapped pickles seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush sticks with melted butter, sprinkle with remaining cheese, and a little extra Cajun seasoning as desired.
09 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
10 - Top with chopped parsley if preferred. Serve warm accompanied by ranch dressing for dipping.
