Happy Tuesday, All! I found this recipe a couple of weeks ago and finally had the chance to try them out. My family LOVES Pizza Hut's Cheese Sticks, and these were pretty dog gone close to the real thing! So, if you're looking for a yummy appetizer, here is a must try!
PIZZA HUT CHEESE STICKS
Found at joshuatrent.com
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups of warm water
1 packet of active dry yeast
2 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup non-fat dry milk (I did not have dry milk, and so I used 1 cup of warm water and 1/2 cup of warm milk with the yeast. It worked great!)
3 cups flour
1/2 cup melted butter (1/2 for the bottom of the pan and 1/2 for the top of the cheese sticks)
8 oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded
Other toppings such as garlic salt, chopped rosemary, roasted garlic, Parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes.
2. Add sugar, milk and salt and mix until just combined.
3. Add flour 1 cup at a time and knead dough until smooth - about 5 minutes.
4. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface.
5. Knead the dough a few more times and incorporate a little more flour. Dough should be silky and
smooth.
6. Roll the dough out into the size and shape of your baking pan. I used a 13 X 18 jelly roll pan.
7. Spread half of the melted butter onto the pan and then place dough onto the pan. Let rise for about 15
minutes. (I made 2 batches. I ended up leaving the first batch to rise for an hour. It turned out much
fluffier and lighter. We preferred it, but the second batch which rose for only 15 minutes was good too!)
8. Spread remaining butter on the top of dough.
9. Top dough with toppings and cheese or leave it plain.
10. Bake at 350* for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
11. Cut into bread sticks and serve with marinara sauce.
Servings: 4-8
These were delicious! My kids went on and on about them, and we consumed two batches in one sitting! I thought the dough was extremely easy to prepare and turned out so close to Pizza Hut's pan pizza crust. This Friday night, I am going to try using this dough as the crust and make actual pizza with it. That would be more suited to the Mr.'s taste! ;) I can't wait to try it!
I hope you all enjoy your Tuesday. We will be busy celebrating our Evvie's 10th birthday! 10 people! Where has the time gone? Her birthday isn't until tomorrow, but Wednesdays are always our crazy day, and so we're celebrating a day early - which is perfectly fine with the birthday girl! I hope you are able to find the chance to celebrate something today - whether it's big or small! God is too good not to celebrate!
Wishing you a day full of blessings,
Christy
