The other day I recreated the Pizza Hut Pan Pizza.  To be honest, the only reason I recreated the pizza hut pizza was to figure out the dough so that I could make the breadsticks.  The breadsticks are my favorite part of the pizza hut experience.  Since the dough was perfect, the only thing missing was the breadstick topping.

Pizza Hut Style Breadsticks

  • Butter flavored Pam
  • 4 tbs vegetable oil, butter flavored if possible
  • 1/2 the pizza hut dough recipe – (Link)
    • Dough recipe – Makes two batches of breadsticks

      • 1 1/3 cup Warm water (~105 degrees)
      • 1/4 cup Non-fat dry milk
      • 1/2 tsp salt
      • 4 cups flour
      • 1 tbs sugar
      • 1 package instant dry yeast
      • 2 tbs vegetable oil, (butter flavored if possible)
  • Breadstick Seasoning
    • 2 tbs dry parmesan cheese
    • 1/2 tbs garlic powder
    • 1/2 tbs garlic salt
    • 1 tbs onion powder
    • 1 tbs oregano
    • 1/2 tbs basil
  • Sauce
    • 1 (15oz) can tomato sauce
    • 1 tsp sugar
    • 1 tsp dry oregano
    • 1/2 tsp dry basil
    • 1/2 tsp dry marjoram
    • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
    • 1/4 tsp salt

Add the dough hook to your stand mixer.

Put yeast, sugar, salt, and dry milk in the bowl of your stand mixer. Add water and stir to mix well. Allow to sit for two minutes or until the mixture starts to bubble. Add oil and stir again.

Gently add the flour and stir until dough forms and flour is absorbed. Then knead the dough with the dough hook on speed 4, for 5 mintues.

Knead the dough

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide dough into two balls.  You can refrigerate the second dough ball.

Divide the dough into thirds

Pour 4 oz of oil into a 9×13 cake pan making sure it is spread evenly.  I know it sounds gross, but without the oil you do not get that perfectly crispy crust. If you can find butter flavored oil, the dough will come out with even more flavor.

Roll out the dough into a 9×13 rectangle. Then place the dough into the 9×13 pan.  Cover the pan with a sheet pan and let the dough rest and rise for at least 1 1/2 hours.

Dough Rising

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees.

After the dough has risen, cut the dough into 10 equal breadsticks.  I used a pizza cutter to score the breadsticks.  This will help the sticks form.

Score the breadsticks

Next lightly spray the top of the breadsticks with butter flavored PAM.  Then lightly sprinkle the top of the breadsticks with the breadstick seasoning.

Season the breadsticks

Place the breadsticks in the oven for 10-15 minutes.  When the breadsticks brown and the edges get crispy, remove the pan from the oven.

Cooked Breadsticks

Then using a spatula remove the breadsticks from the pan.  Break the sticks apart at the scored lines and serve with the pizza sauce.

Making the Sauce

While the dough is rising, mix the sauce ingredient together in a sauce pan.  Heat with medium heat until the sauce starts to boil, then lower the heat to low.  Let the sauce simmer for 30 minutes before using.

The Sauce

These were amazing! They were almost exactly the same. The key was using the butter flavored oil.

  3. Heya i’m for the primary time here. I came across this board and I to find It truly helpful & it helped me out much. I hope to provide one thing back and aid others such as you aided me.

    Help! I don't have one of those fabulous mixers with the various attachments…any suggestions on how to properly make the dough? I'd really like to make these ^^; I've never tried dough like that before so I'm not sure how to do it without the mixer *I only have a handheld with basic beaters LOL*

  5. Samantha,

    At the point where the recipe asks you to assemble the following ingredients in the bowl of your stand mixer, follow these directions instead.

    Put yeast, sugar, salt, and dry milk in a large bowl. Add water and stir to mix well. Allow to sit for two minutes or until the mixture starts to bubble. Add oil and stir again.

    Slowly add the flour 1/2 cup at a time and stir with a wooden spoon until the flour is absorbed. At some point during the addition of flour it will get a little hard to stir. At this point, roll up your sleeves and turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Continue to add the flour and knead until the dough stops accepting flour and doesn't have a sticky texture. At this point stop adding flour and then knead the dough by hand for about 5 minutes.

    Then return to the rest of the recipe.

    Thanks so much- moves to the UK and Pizza Hut here doesn’t serve breadsticks, just garlic bread. Been craving them for years and they turned out great!

    i have two pans of dough rising the the oven right now, one for breadsticks, one for pizza. I couldn't find butter flavored oil at the store, then i realized i have butter flavored soy oil that i put on my popcorn! Can't wait to see how this turns out. I'll update once i've dined in homemade pizza hut style.

    Pizza hut cuts the breadsticks and adds the topping after baking.

    THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I've been looking all over for a recipe for Pizza Hut breadsticks because, like you, I enjoy the breadsticks the most in a Pizza Hut dinner. You did such a magnificent job of posting the recipe details, with the step-by-step pictures! I am so grateful for your sharing your information! I'm baking tomorrow!

    Thank you so much for this recipe!! I love Pizza Hut breadsticks, made these tonight, and they are fantastic! I used olive oil instead of butter-flavored or vegetable oil, just so I would be a little less guilty. Also, I made 2 batches of breadsticks, but I didn't have 2 9 x 13 pans, so I used a 9 x 13 cookie sheet. I must say that batch was hard on the bottom, so that confirms you are right to use the deeper pan! The batch from the deeper pan was crispy on the top and bottom like Pizza Hut's. Yummy! Also, I didn't have garlic salt, so I used 3/4 salt and 1/4 garlic powder to sub, and I will use less salt next time. Thanks again! Delicious!!
