Description
Recreate the iconic salty, garlicky, and buttery crunch of Pizza Hut breadsticks in under 20 minutes. Using refrigerated pizza dough and a heavy seasoning blend applied in two stages, these breadsticks feature a legendary glossy finish and a soft, pillowy interior.
Ingredients
The Base
- 1 (13.8-oz) can refrigerated pizza crust
The Buttery Topping & Seasoning
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (shelf-stable)
- 5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Prep: Preheat oven to 425°F. Unroll dough onto a large ungreased cookie sheet.
Cut: Use a pizza cutter to cut 12 strips lengthwise, then cut horizontally to make 24 sticks. Do not separate them.
Bake 1: Bake for 10 mins. Meanwhile, whisk the parmesan and spices in a small bowl.
Season 1: Brush with half the butter and sprinkle with half the seasoning.
Bake 2: Return to oven for 5 mins until golden.
Polish: Brush with remaining butter and seasoning. Serve warm.
Notes
Don’t Separate: Keeping the dough touching allows the tops to crisp while the sides remain soft and pillowy.
The ‘Green Shaker’ Cheese: The fine texture of shelf-stable parmesan is essential for that specific restaurant-style salty crust.
Two-Stage Seasoning: Seasoning twice ensures a toasted base layer and a fresh, glossy finish.
