A cheesy, buttery delight inspired by the beloved Pizza Hut cheese sticks, perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast
  • 0.25 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp warm water (110°F) (divided)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (thinly sliced)
  • 1 large egg yolk (lightly beaten)
  • 0.5 cups warm water (110°F) (divided)
  • 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Marinara sauce for dipping
  • Additional melted butter, to taste
  • Spices (e.g., oregano, garlic) for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough by combining flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Pour in 2 tablespoons of warm water to activate the yeast. Gradually stir in 0.5 cups of warm water until a soft dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Form the dough into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rest for about 15 minutes.
  3. Shape the cheese sticks by rolling out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch wide strips, place cheese and butter in the center, fold, and pinch to seal.
  4. Bake the cheese sticks by preheating the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange on a greased baking sheet, brush with egg yolk, and sprinkle spices. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and gooey.

Notes

Serve with warm marinara sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
