Spicy Cheese Breadsticks Recipes

Steps:

• In food processor, combine the flour, salt, cayenne and baking powder.
• Pulse several times to mix.
• Add the butter and cheese, then pulse for about 30 seconds, or until the ingredients are well mixed (it should resemble slightly moist flour).
• Add the sour cream and pulse on and off for about 1 minute, or until the ingredients come together as a moist, doughy clump.
• Remove the dough from the food processor, form into a ball, then cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or coat it with cooking spray.
• On a lightly floured counter, roll out the dough into a large rectangle about 1/8-inch thick.
• Trim the edges to create a neat rectangle.
• Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into strips 6 inches long and about 1/2 inch wide.
• Combine the scraps and repeat with remaining dough to make about 18-24 sticks.
• Gently twist each strip to create a spiral, then arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 8 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, prepare a sheetpan with parchment or a silpat.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the sheet of puff pastry until it is quite thin.
• In a small bowl, mix together all of the seeds and spices.
• Sprinkle them over the dough.
• Using a rolling pin, roll them into the dough.
• Sprinkle the cheese over the dough.
• Roll the cheese into the dough.
• Slice the Dough into 8 even strips.
• Twist from both ends of each dough strip so that the dough spirals into a breadstick.
• Lay them on a sheetpan lined with parchment or a silpat.
• Bake the breadsticks for 15 minutes until golden.
• Let cool for a moment then transfer to a tall glass and fan out to serve.
