Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Pastry brush
  • Kitchen towel

Ingredients
  

  • All-purpose flour – 3 ½ cups
  • Warm water – 1 ¼ cups, about 110°F
  • Active dry yeast – 2 ¼ teaspoons
  • Sugar – 2 tablespoons
  • Salt – 1 teaspoon
  • Olive oil – 2 tablespoons
  • Unsalted butter – 4 tablespoons, melted
  • Garlic powder – 1 teaspoon
  • Parmesan cheese – ½ cup, grated
  • Dried oregano – 1 teaspoon

Instructions
 

Activate Yeast

  • In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy and active. This helps create soft, fluffy breadsticks.

Make Dough

  • In a large bowl, add flour and salt. Pour in yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until dough forms, then knead until smooth and elastic.

Let Dough Rise

  • Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover with a towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.

Shape Dough

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll dough into a rectangle and place it evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Add Toppings

  • Brush melted butter over the dough. Sprinkle garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, and oregano evenly on top for classic Pizza Hut style flavor.

Bake Breadsticks

  • Cut dough into breadsticks using a pizza cutter. Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown and slightly crisp on edges.

Finish and Serve

  • Remove from oven and brush with extra melted butter if desired. Let cool slightly before serving warm with marinara or cheese dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Use warm water, not hot, to activate yeast properly
  • Knead dough well for soft texture
  • Do not skip rising time for fluffy breadsticks
  • Brush butter after baking for extra flavor
  • Serve fresh for best taste and texture
