Parmesan Cheese Sticks Recipes

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and let it sit until bubbly, about 7-8 minutes.
• Add the milk, sugar, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, 3 tablespoons butter, salt, and 2 cups flour.
• Beat until smooth.
• Stir in 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
• Knead with bread hook for 7-8 minutes adding additional flour as needed.
• Turn onto a floured surface and knead about 10-15 times.
• Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.
• Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
• Punch the dough down and let it rest a couple of minutes.
• For thin bread sticks, divide into 36 pieces.
• (This is very versatile here. You can make them as small or as large as you want. I cut mine into 18 pieces for a larger breadstick).
• Shape each piece into a 6 inch rope.
• Place 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet.
• Cover and let rise until doubled, about 25-35 minutes.
• Melt remaining butter and brush over the dough.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garlic salt.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove from pans to wire racks.

Steps:

• Combine 3/4 cup warm water (105 degrees F to 110 degrees F) and the sugar in a food processor. Sprinkle the yeast on the surface and set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add the olive oil and pulse once. Add the flour and salt; pulse to form a smooth dough, about 2 minutes. Brush a large bowl with olive oil. Transfer the dough to the bowl and form into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Lay out a large sheet of parchment paper and brush with olive oil. Transfer the dough to the parchment and pat into a 6-by-12-inch rectangle. Brush the dough lightly with olive oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside 10 minutes. (At this point, you can refrigerate the dough, covered, up to 12 hours.)
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment; brush with olive oil. Cut the dough in half crosswise with a chef's knife or pizza cutter to make two 6-inch squares. Cut each half into 10 equal pieces.
• On a lightly floured surface, stretch and roll each piece of dough with your hands into a thin 12-to-14-inch-long rope. Transfer the ropes to the prepared baking sheets, arranging them about 1/2 inch apart.
• Whisk the egg white with 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Brush the breadsticks lightly with the egg wash, then sprinkle with parmesan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; set aside 10 minutes.
• Uncover the breadsticks and bake until golden and crisp, about 30 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. Slide off the baking sheets and let cool on racks. (The breadsticks will crisp up as they cool; if they are still flexible, bake about 7 more minutes.) Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.

Steps:

• In a bowl, beat eggs and milk. Dip four slices of bread into egg mixture; place each between two plain slices. Cut each stack into three strips. Combine Parmesan cheese and parsley. Dip all sides of each strip in butter; roll in cheese mixture. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheet. , Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Lightly roll out the sheet of pastry into a 10-by-12-inch rectangle, then brush with the melted butter. Sprinkle over the mozzarella, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, the oregano and basil. Using a rolling pin, press the cheese into the pastry. Cut the 12-inch side of the pastry into 12 strips. Twist each strip about 5 times and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Mix together the egg and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Brush the strips with the egg mixture and sprinkle over the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Bake until golden brown and puffed, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool before removing from the baking sheet. Serve the cheese sticks with warm marinara alongside.

Steps:

• Fit your food processor with a steel blade. Place the bread flour, yeast, sugar, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan and softened butter in the processor; pulse to blend. Stir together hot water, milk and egg. Start the processor and slowly pour in the milk mixture into the feed tube until a ball forms around the blade. Run for 30 seconds to knead. Remove dough from processor and knead briefly by hand. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Deflate the dough, and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a 10x12 inch rectangle. Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough lengthwise into ten strips, and then cut these strips in half. Brush tops of strips with 2 tablespoons melted butter, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Cover, and let rise until nearly double, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 23 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn broiler on, and brush breadsticks with remaining melted butter and Parmesan cheese. Broil just until the cheese starts to turn light brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450ºF.
• Cut zucchini crosswise in half, then cut each piece into 1/4-inch-thick matchlike sticks. Add cheese to coating mix in shaker bag; shake gently to combine. Whisk egg in medium bowl.
• Add zucchini, in batches, to egg; toss until evenly coated. Use tongs to add 1/4 of the zucchini to coating mix in shaker bag; close bag, then shake to evenly coat zucchini. Spread onto rimmed baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Repeat with remaining zucchini.
• Bake 12 to 13 min. or until golden brown, turning after 7 min. Serve with dressing.

Steps:

• Remove string cheese sticks from plastic wrappings and cut the strings in half crosswise.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place eggs in a bowl and bread crumbs into a large shallow bowl.
• Dip cheese stick halves into egg and roll in bread crumbs to completely coat the sticks; place breaded cheese sticks onto the prepared baking sheet. Allow cheese sticks to stand at room temperature for about 5 minutes to set, and repeat dipping in egg and bread crumbs to form a thick coating. Freeze breaded cheese sticks for at least 2 hours.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Deep fry cheese sticks, a few at a time, until the coating is golden brown and crisp and the cheese is soft, 5 to 8 minutes. Let sticks drain on paper towels; cool slightly and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Mix flour, cornmeal and salt. Cut in cheese and butter until crumbly. Stir in water; mix well., Divide dough in half; cover half. On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 portion into a 14x8-in. rectangle. Cut into 7x1/2-in. strips; place on a baking sheet. Grasp strips at each end and twist in opposite directions, pressing ends onto sheet to help them hold their shape. Repeat with remaining dough. , Bake until lightly browned, 8-10 minutes; immediately sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Remove from baking sheet; cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Beat egg in a small bowl. Place flour in a separate small bowl. Toss bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese together in a another separate bowl.
• Gently press each cheese stick into flour to coat and shake off excess flour. Dip into egg, then press into bread crumb mixture. Place the breaded cheese sticks onto a baking sheet while breading the rest; do not stack. Coat each cheese stick with olive oil; cover baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crisp, about 4 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F.
• Then take a bowl, and a cheese grater (or food processor) and grate cheese into the bowl, or in the food processor.
• Add your herbs, garlic powder, pepper and sesame seeds to the cheese, and stir to combine.
• Beat eggs in a long baking dish.
• Dip both sides of defrosted dough in the beaten eggs and dredge it lightly in the cheese mixture.
• Then take the seasoned sheets of dough and place them on sheets of wax paper.
• Using a pastry wheel, cut dough into 6x1 inch strips.
• Then take those strips, and twist each of them into spiral shapes and place about 1 inch apart from one another on a foil-lined baking sheet.
• Bake your cheese sticks in the oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes.
• Using a wide spatula, carefully remove from pan and serve.

Steps:

• Thaw puff pastry according to package instructions, just until it is soft enough to cut. (This should take about 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature). Puff pastry should still be very cold. Preheat oven to 425 degrees with two racks.
• In a small bowl, mix to combine cheese and cayenne pepper. In a second small bowl, combine sesame and poppy seeds with salt, and set aside.
• Arrange cold puff pastry on work surface. Cut puff pastry lengthwise into two equal 5-inch-wide halves. Brush each half with beaten egg. Sprinkle one half with cheese mixture and other half with seed mixture. Using a pastry cutter or knife, cut each half crosswise into twenty 1/2-inch strips.
• Working one at a time, twist each strip into a double spiral, and transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets, 1/2 inch apart. Using your thumb, press the ends of the strips down into the parchment to prevent unraveling. Transfer to freezer, and chill until very firm, about 20 minutes. (Refrigerator may be used for chilling but will take at least twice as long.) Check dough while chilling to make sure it stays twisted.
• Transfer the straws to the oven, and bake until golden, rotating baking sheets halfway through cooking time for even browning, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool the straws on a cooling rack.
