🥘 Ingredients

7 items

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 150 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 60 milliliters Ice water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 large Egg (beaten, for egg wash)

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar together.

3. Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a rectangle. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

6. Once chilled, roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into sticks about 1/2 inch wide and 6 inches long.

7. Place the sticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.

8. Brush the sticks lightly with beaten egg to give them a golden crust as they bake.

9. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or grated Parmesan over the sticks for added flavor and texture.

10. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the sticks are golden brown and crispy.

11. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
