Delicious and easy-to-make Pizza Hut style cheese sticks featuring a crispy golden crust with gooey melted mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, seasoned with garlic and Italian herbs, perfect as a snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

Cheese and Seasonings

  • 2 cups shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Other

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough for developing a crisp crust and properly melting the cheese.
  2. Prepare Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about ½ inch thick to create an even base for the cheese sticks.
  3. Add Cheese: Evenly spread the shredded mozzarella over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Then sprinkle the freshly grated parmesan cheese evenly on top.
  4. Season and Oil Edges: Sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning over the cheese and dough surface. Drizzle olive oil around the edges of the dough to promote browning and add flavor.
  5. Cut and Arrange: Cut the dough into strips approximately one inch wide and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to ensure even cooking.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the dough turns golden brown and crisp.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cheese sticks to cool slightly before serving, ideally with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • You can use homemade or store-bought pizza dough depending on convenience and preference.
  • Ensure the dough is rolled to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
  • Use whole milk mozzarella for best melting and flavor.
  • Let the cheese sticks cool briefly after baking to avoid burns from hot cheese.
  • Marinara sauce pairs perfectly as a dipping sauce but can be substituted with ranch or garlic butter.
