Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
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.
Add the grated low sodium cheddar cheese, ground black pepper, and paprika to the flour mixture. Mix until evenly distributed.
Gradually add the cold water, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
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).
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the dough into strips approximately 1cm (0.4in) wide.
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.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the twists are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your low sodium cheese twists as a delicious snack!
