No mystery oils. No overly processed dough. Just warm, comforting, clean-carb goodness the whole family will devour.

Make a batch for pizza night, soup night, or snack time — and don’t forget a little dipping sauce on the side.

Ingredients:

For the dough:

• 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)

• 2 tsp honey or maple syrup

• 2¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)

• 2½ cups white whole wheat or all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp salt

• 2 tbsp olive oil

For the garlic butter topping:

• 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp Italian seasoning

• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast or grated Parmesan (optional)

• Sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions:

1. Make the dough
In a large bowl, whisk warm water, honey, and yeast. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy. Stir in flour, salt, and olive oil. Knead by hand or with a dough hook for 5–7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes.

2. Shape the breadsticks
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the dough into a rectangle (about 9x13"). Use a pizza cutter to slice into 1-inch wide strips (don’t separate them). Let rest for 10 minutes.

3. Brush & bake
Brush dough with garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle with sea salt and Parmesan if using. Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden and puffed.

4. Slice & serve
Cut again to separate the breadsticks. Serve warm with clean marinara, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Sarah’s Tips:

• Dairy-free version: Skip the Parmesan or use nutritional yeast for that cheesy flavor.

• Want a crispier crust? Bake directly on a stone or preheated sheet pan.

• Make it a meal: Serve with soup, salad, or turn into pizza dippers with sauce and toppings.

• Freeze the dough: After the first rise, wrap tightly and freeze for up to 1 month.

Flavorful Conclusion:

These Homemade Pizza Hut Breadsticks deliver that soft, garlicky flavor you love — without the grease or guilt. Made with clean pantry staples and easy enough for a weeknight, they bring all the pizza night magic home.
