Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 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)
- 20 grams Sesame seeds or grated Parmesan (optional topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar together.
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.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
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.
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.
Place the sticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
Brush the sticks lightly with beaten egg to give them a golden crust as they bake.
If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or grated Parmesan over the sticks for added flavor and texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the sticks are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
