Description

Make the best Copycat Pizza Hut Breadsticks at home! Soft, chewy, and loaded with garlic butter flavor, they taste just like the original.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 ¼ cups warm water (110°F/45°C)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour

For the Garlic Butter Topping:

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough:

    • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
    • Add sugar, oil, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Mix until combined.
    • Gradually add remaining flour, kneading until a soft dough forms.
    • Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
    • Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
  • Shape the Breadsticks:

    • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Roll dough into a 9×13-inch rectangle.
    • Use a pizza cutter to slice into 10-12 even strips.
    • Place strips on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake the Breadsticks:

    • Brush with melted butter before baking.
    • Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown.
    • While still warm, brush with additional melted butter and sprinkle with the garlic seasoning mix.

Notes

  • Let the dough rise fully for soft and fluffy breadsticks.
  • Don’t overbake to keep them soft inside.
  • Brushing with butter after baking keeps them from drying out.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese before serving.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
