Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 60 grams unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 50 grams low-sodium Parmesan cheese, grated
- 120 milliliters water, cold
- 1 large egg white, beaten
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.
Add the chilled butter cubes into the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the grated low-sodium Parmesan cheese evenly throughout the flour mixture.
Gradually add the cold water into the dry mixture, stirring until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth.
Roll the dough into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into strips about 1/2 inch wide and 5 inches long.
Arrange the strips onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
Brush each strip lightly with beaten egg white to promote browning and help the seeds adhere.
Sprinkle poppy seeds and sesame seeds over the strips.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the salt sticks cool on a wire rack before serving.
