Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
- 1 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Activate yeast by dissolving sugar in warm water, then sprinkle yeast on top. Allow mixture to become foamy and fragrant for 5 minutes.
- Create dough base by combining flour and salt in a separate container. Integrate frothy yeast liquid and melted butter, mixing until a rough, shaggy texture develops.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead vigorously for 8-10 minutes. Develop smooth, stretchy consistency with elastic texture.
- Coat a clean bowl with olive oil, place dough inside, and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a draft-free, warm environment for approximately 1 hour until volume doubles.
- Punch down risen dough and roll into a thin rectangular shape, approximately 1/2 inch thick. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice into uniform breadstick strips.
- Arrange strips on parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving small gaps between each piece. Generously brush with melted butter and dust with garlic powder and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake breadsticks for 15-20 minutes, rotating pan halfway through, until edges turn golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven, let cool for 2-3 minutes, then serve immediately while warm and aromatic.
Notes
- Activate yeast properly by ensuring water temperature is between 100-110°F to guarantee perfect rising and prevent killing the yeast.
- Knead dough thoroughly to develop gluten, creating a stretchy and soft texture that mimics Pizza Hut’s signature breadstick consistency.
- Customize flavor profile by experimenting with different cheese blends like mozzarella or adding dried herbs like oregano or basil to the topping for extra depth.
- Make gluten-free version by substituting all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend and adding xanthan gum to maintain dough structure and elasticity.
