    Copycat "Pizza Hut" Bread Sticks

    I had been looking for this Copycat "Pizza Hut" Bread Sticks recipe forever! I knew I had it in my files somewhere but could never find it.  But one day I was going through my massive collection of handwritten Amish recipes and turned over the right sheet of paper and saw it.  It's written on the back of a recipe for homemade "squash rolls" which I'll have to share with you another time.

    Amish cooks enjoy "copy cat" recipes. Why go to the grocery store to buy Heinz ketchup if you can make your homemade? In this case, why go to Pizza Hut for breadsticks when you can whip them up at home.  We've also posted Amish recipes for homemade  "Pizza Hut sauce" before. For many Many Amish cooks, there’s something fun about trying to replicate a recipe. There’s something fun about trying to crack the code of a favorite secret sauce or replicate the favorite fried chicken sold by the bucket. I think it's fun for anyone to try to do that, but it's ingrained in Amish culinary culture.

    Below is one of my favorite photos that I have taken over the years. It just shows the pull that commercial fast food has on the Amish. I mean, who would expect to find a parking lot full of buggies at a Pizza Hut. But in northern Indiana's sprawling Amish community, there are few better treats for a hard-working Amish homemaker than letting someone else do the cooking and Pizza Hut is happy to help!

    Even the Amish get their Pizza Hut fix.

    But for those times when you just have to have your favorite breadsticks but you want to make them at home, here is a recipe. This recipe comes to us from Misheal Kopp, a Mennonite woman who lives in the community of Rich Hill, Missouri.

    I was kind of down on Pizza Hut for a long time...just too greasy (my Dad always called it "Grease-a Hut").  However, in the past year or so I've gone there more and I kind of like it again. But their breadsticks, if memory serves me correct, were pretty tasty.  Now you can try a homemade version!  The recipe that I have does not give a baking time, so you'll just have to keep an eye on the oven and a yield was also not given.

    Homemade Pizza Bread Stick Recipe

    This is the Copycat "Pizza Hut" Bread Sticks recipe that Ms. Kopp sent me. Gosh, she has good handwriting. Anyway, let's make these!

    Copycat Pizza Hut Breadsticks

    Very basic ingredients, so in this sense this is an easier copycat recipe.

    Dissolve the yeast in warm water.

    Ah, this is the best part, the buttery mixture that you make and dip the sticks in before baking!

      What is sour cream and onion? Is it a seasoning?
