Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, garlic powder, and paprika to evenly combine the dry ingredients.
Step 3
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the bowl. Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to work the butter into the flour mixture until it forms a crumbly texture.
Step 4
Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl. Stir until the cheeses are evenly distributed.
Step 5
Drizzle in the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough comes together but is not overly sticky.
Step 6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. Cut the dough into thin strips (about 1/2-inch wide and 6 inches long) using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Step 7
Place the strips onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Step 8
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture over the top of the cheese sticks for a golden finish.
Step 9
Bake the cheese sticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and crisp.
Step 10
Remove the cheese sticks from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Step 11
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
