Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
- 150 grams low sodium cheddar cheese, grated
- 60 milliliters cold water
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and chilled unsalted butter cubes. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Add the grated low sodium cheddar cheese, ground black pepper, and paprika to the flour mixture. Mix until evenly distributed.
Step 4
Gradually add the cold water, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until smooth. Roll the dough into a rectangle about 25cm x 35cm (10in x 14in).
Step 6
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the dough into strips approximately 1cm (0.4in) wide.
Step 7
Take each strip and twist it gently, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each twist lightly with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the twists are puffed and golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your low sodium cheese twists as a delicious snack!
