Why You’ll Love These Easy Pizza Hut Cinnamon Sticks

Let me count the ways:

• No dough-making drama: We’re using pre-made pizza dough (bless it).
• Kid-approved: These are just sweet enough without being sugar bombs.
• Dessert or snack: They’re great as a mid-day pick-me-up or an after-dinner treat.
• Budget-friendly: Making them at home saves serious dough (pun absolutely intended).

And honestly? They might just outrank the best desserts at Pizza Hut.

Here’s what’s going into your cinnamon dream sticks:

• pizza crust dough
• unsalted butter, melted
• white sugar

How to Make These Cinnamon Sticks

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Step 2: Open those tubes of pizza dough and smush them into one big dough ball. Let it rest at room temp while you prep the pan.
Step 3: Brush melted butter over the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9×13″ baking dish. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of your cinnamon-sugar mix and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar over the butter.
Step 4: Roll and stretch the dough to fit the dish. Press gently with your fingers to get it into all the corners.
Step 5: Slice it into strips first lengthwise down the center, then across to create 16 pieces. If they separate a bit, just nudge them back together.

Step 6: Brush the tops with the rest of your melted butter. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar and brown sugar over the top.

Step 7: Bake for 15–17 minutes or until the dough is cooked through (peek with a fork if needed).
Step 8: While they cool slightly, mix up your glaze: powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until you get that pourable perfection. Drizzle some over the sticks, and save the rest for dipping!

Cinnamon Sticks Calories (And Why It’s Totally Worth It)

Tips for Perfect Cinnamon Breadsticks

• Don’t skip room temp dough: Cold dough fights back, and we want it nice and stretchy.
• Cut before baking: Pre-slicing helps get that pull-apart, Pizza-Hut-style vibe.
• Check the bottom: If you’re unsure they’re done, lift up a corner with a fork undercooked dough is a no-go.
• Want them extra gooey? Add a touch more butter to the top before baking. No judgment here.
