Method
How to Make Pizza Hut Cheese Sticks
- Prepare the Dough: Begin by combining active dry yeast with half of the warm water, letting it foam for about 5 minutes. In a large bowl, mix together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, kosher salt, and the remaining water. Stir in the egg yolk and foamy yeast, then gradually mix in all-purpose flour until just incorporated.
- Assemble Breadsticks: Brush a 9×13 baking dish generously with melted butter. Spread the prepared dough evenly in the dish, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Bake and Serve: Once risen, remove the plastic wrap, and brush the dough with the remaining melted butter. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, garlic salt, and dried oregano on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 28-31 minutes until golden brown. Afterward, allow to cool for 10 minutes, then cut and serve with marinara sauce.
