Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Low-sodium baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 cup Low-fat milk
• 1 cup Low-sodium cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, low-sodium baking powder, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the low-fat milk and shredded low-sodium cheddar cheese until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky.

Step 5

On a floured surface, knead the dough gently a few times, then roll it out into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.

Step 6

Cut the dough into strips about 1 inch wide and 4 inches long to form breadsticks. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece.

Step 7

In a small bowl, beat the large egg with the tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush each breadstick with the egg wash.

Step 8

Sprinkle the dried oregano evenly over the breadsticks.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and brush the tops of the breadsticks with melted unsalted butter.

Step 11

Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your low sodium cheese breadsticks warm with your favorite low-sodium dipping sauce.
