Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Line a baking sheet with foil and place a metal baking rack on top of the foil.

Stack the bacon directly on top of each other and using a sharp, heavy knife cut in half from end to end. You'll have 12 long strips.

Unroll the pizza crust and evenly shape into a rectangle.

Melt the butter in the microwave.

Use a pastry brush to evenly spread the butter over the pizza crust.

Whisk together the brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, cayenne pepper and black pepper.

Evenly spread the brown sugar and seasoning mixture over the melted butter on the crust.

Evenly space the 12 halves of bacon across the crust and slice with a pizza cutter (see video).

Grab each breadstick by the ends and gently twist the ends in the opposite direction until the bacon and bread are evenly twisted together.

Space the bacon breadsticks evenly on top of the baking rack.

Bake for 20 minutes.

Remove the baking pan and gently flip the breadsticks over. Place them back in the oven and bake for 10 minutes more, or until the bacon looks crisp and the breadsticks are nicely browned.

Allow to cool for about 10 minutes and serve.
