Delicious Pizza Hut Cheese Sticks Recipe You’ll Love!

Recreate the warm, cheesy goodness of Pizza Hut cheese sticks at home with this easy recipe. Perfectly baked with a golden crust and a blend of gooey mozzarella and nutty Parmesan, these cheese sticks are a delightful treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb pizza dough (Store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups whole milk mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures your cheese sticks will bake evenly and develop a golden-brown crust.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick. Aim for an even thickness, as uneven areas can lead to inconsistent baking.
  3. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a greased baking sheet. Make sure it’s centered and not hanging over the edges to avoid burning.
  4. Sprinkle the garlic powder and Italian seasoning evenly over the surface of the dough. This step is crucial for flavor; don't skimp on the spices!
  5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan over the dough, distributing it evenly from edge to edge. Ensure every bite has that cheesy goodness.
  6. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice the dough into strips, about 1 inch wide. Make sure to cut all the way through to ensure even cooking.
  7. Drizzle the melted butter over the cheese sticks, ensuring they are well-coated. This will help them achieve that golden finish.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the cheese sticks cool for a few minutes. This allows the cheese to set slightly, making them easier to handle.
  10. Serve with your favorite marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy every cheesy, melty bite!
