🛒 What You’ll Need

For the Dough:

  • 1 1/3 cups Warm water 💧
  • 2 tsp Sugar 🍬
  • 1 1/4 tsp Salt 🧂
  • 2 tbsp Non-fat dry milk powder 🥛
  • 3 1/2 cups All-purpose flour 🌾
  • 2 tsp Instant yeast 🍞
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil (plus extra for the pan) 🌻

The Secret Seasoning:

  • 1/4 cup Butter, melted 🧈
  • 1 tbsp Parmesan cheese (grated) 🧀
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder 🧄
  • 1 tsp Onion powder 🧅
  • 1 tsp Dried oregano or Italian seasoning 🌿

👩‍🍳 Let’s Get Baking!

  1. The Dough: Mix warm water, sugar, salt, and milk powder in a large bowl. Add the flour, yeast, and oil. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. 🥣✨
  2. The Rise: Let the dough rest in a warm spot for about 45–60 minutes until it doubles in size. ⏰⏳
  3. Prep the Pan: Pour a generous amount of oil (about 2 tbsp) into a 9×13 baking pan. This is the secret to that crispy “fried” bottom! 🥘🔥
  4. Shape: Press the dough evenly into the pan. Use a pizza cutter to slice it into breadstick strips, but don’t separate them yet! 📐🔪
  5. Second Rise: Cover and let them rise in the pan for another 20 minutes. ⏲️
  6. Bake: Bake at 475°F (245°C) for 12–15 minutes until the tops are golden brown. 🥨🔥
  7. The Finish: While hot, brush generously with the melted butter and sprinkle the seasoning mix all over the top! 🧈🌿🧀

💡 Pro-Tip:

Don’t skimp on the oil in the pan! It’s what gives these breadsticks that authentic Pizza Hut texture and flavor. 🍕🧤
