Pizza Hut Cheese Sticks are soft, cheesy breadsticks made from pizza dough, filled and topped with melted mozzarella cheese, and brushed with flavorful garlic butter. Perfect as a snack or appetizer, these cheese sticks are baked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 batch pizza dough (about 1 lb)

Cheese Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Garlic Butter

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a rectangular shape approximately 12×8 inches to create an even base for the cheese sticks.
  2. Add the Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over half of the dough, then fold the other half over the cheese to encase it, sealing the edges by pressing them firmly.
  3. Cut into Sticks: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the folded dough into strips about 1 inch wide, ensuring each piece is sealed well so the cheese does not leak out during baking.
  4. Bake the Cheese Sticks: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the cheese sticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet spaced slightly apart. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the dough is golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Prepare Garlic Butter: While baking, combine the melted butter and minced garlic in a small bowl.
  6. Brush with Garlic Butter: As soon as the cheese sticks come out of the oven, brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture to infuse rich garlic flavor and add a golden shine.
  7. Serve Hot: Let the sticks cool slightly before serving warm as a delightful appetizer or side.

Notes

  • You can add Italian seasoning or parsley to the garlic butter for extra flavor.
  • Use fresh mozzarella for a gooier texture, or pre-shredded mozzarella for convenience.
  • Serve with marinara sauce for dipping to enhance the taste.
  • Make sure the edges are sealed tightly to prevent cheese leakage during baking.
