Indulge in the irresistible crunch of these Pizza Hut cheese sticks, where each bite reveals a gooey, melted cheese center enveloped in a perfectly golden, crispy crust. The aroma of freshly baked dough mingles with the rich scent of mozzarella, creating a sensory experience that is both comforting and satisfying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Dough:
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon sugar
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
    • 3/4 cup warm water (110°F)
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Filling:
    • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
    • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Topping:
    • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
    • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
    • 1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar, then sprinkle yeast on top. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  6. Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into strips approximately 1 inch wide.
  7. Place a generous amount of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese in the center of each strip, then fold the dough over and seal the edges.
  8. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Make-ahead: The dough can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Substitutions: Use cheddar or pepper jack cheese for a different flavor profile.
