How to Make Pizza Hut Or Olive Garden Breadsticks

Combine 1 cup warm water, 2 teaspoons sugar, and 2 teaspoons active dry yeast in your bread machine pan. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
Add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups wheat flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons olive oil to the bread machine.
Select the dough cycle on your bread machine and let it mix and knead the dough.
Once the dough cycle is complete, gently turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a 10-12 inch long, cigar-shaped breadstick.
Arrange breadsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Brush breadsticks with melted butter, reserving some for later.
Sprinkle with kosher salt.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven. Brush with remaining melted butter and sprinkle again with kosher salt and garlic powder.
**For Olive Garden Style:** That's it! Enjoy your warm, buttery breadsticks.
**For Pizza Hut Style:** In a small bowl, combine ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder.
Sprinkle the parmesan mixture generously over the breadsticks.
**For Pizza Hut Cheesesticks:** Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the breadsticks after applying the Pizza Hut seasoning.
For cheesesticks, broil for 1-2 minutes, or until cheese is melted and slightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
