Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, low-sodium baking powder, and garlic powder.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the low-fat milk and shredded low-sodium cheddar cheese until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky.
On a floured surface, knead the dough gently a few times, then roll it out into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.
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.
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.
Sprinkle the dried oregano evenly over the breadsticks.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and brush the tops of the breadsticks with melted unsalted butter.
Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your low sodium cheese breadsticks warm with your favorite low-sodium dipping sauce.
