Pizza Hut Cinnamon Sticks

Soft, buttery cinnamon sticks inspired by Pizza Hut—baked to golden perfection and topped with a rich vanilla glaze. Perfect for sharing, dipping, or indulging all on your own.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pizza crust dough tubes
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 tsps ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
  • cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp clear vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tbsp milk

Instructions
 

  • Open both pizza dough tubes and press them together into one ball. Let it rest at room temperature while you prep the dish.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Brush melted butter across the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9x13-inch dish. Set aside a little butter for later.
  • Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of cinnamon sugar over the buttered dish, then add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar on top.
  • Roll out the dough and stretch it to fit the dish. Press it into the corners and along the edges with your fingers.
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice once lengthwise, then cut across to make 16 sticks. Gently press them back into shape if needed.
  • Brush with the remaining melted butter. Sprinkle on the rest of the cinnamon sugar and brown sugar.
  • Bake on the center rack for 15–17 minutes, until puffed and golden. Use a fork to check that the center is fully cooked.
  • Let cool slightly. In a bowl, whisk powdered sugar, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons milk. Add more milk if needed for a smooth drizzle.
  • Drizzle some glaze over warm sticks and serve with the rest of the glaze on the side for dipping.
