Baked Salty Sticks Recipes

LIGHT AND BAKED MOZZARELLA STICKS

Steps:

• Preheat a toaster oven on broil setting, or set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Spray a small baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Insert toothpick vertically into each cheese stick half to mid-way point. Beat egg in a small bowl. Place bread crumbs in a separate small bowl.
• Dip each cheese stick into egg, then press into bread crumbs. Repeat dipping in egg and breadcrumbs for a double-thick coating. Place cheese sticks on prepared baking sheet and spray with additional cooking spray for uniform browning.
• Broil in preheated oven until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Allow cheese sticks to set before serving, about 1 minute.

BAKED SALTY STICKS

Steps:

• Mix butter with flour and baking soda.
• Add cottage cheese and mix well.
• Add more flour if too sticky.
• Roll out batter until 1/2 inch thick and spread yolk over.
• (Putting batter into freezer for 10 minutes might help the stickiness too.).
• Sprinkle with salt, then summac or poppy seeds, grated cheese or as you like.
• Cut into 1/2 inch thick sticks.
• Bake at 350 until golden.

TENDER SALT STICKS

Steps:

• Make dough:
• In a food processor pulse together flour, sugar, and table salt several times to combine well. In a small bowl whisk together water, yeast, and butter or oil. Add yeast mixture to flour mixture and pulse until dough forms a ball, 8 to 10 times. Process dough continuously 30 seconds.
• Put dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat, and let rise, covered tightly with plastic wrap, until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Line 2 jelly-roll pans or large baking sheets with parchment paper or foil.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and punch down. Shape dough into a 12- by 3-inch rectangle and cut crosswise into twelve 3- by 1-inch strips. Roll each strip with palms of hands until 6 inches long and in pans arrange 2 inches apart. Cover pans loosely with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let sticks rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Brush sticks with egg wash and sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake sticks in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching positions of pans halfway through baking, until well risen and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool sticks in pans on racks.

BAKED SWEET POTATO STICKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• In a large bowl, mix olive oil and paprika. Add potato sticks, and stir by hand to coat. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake 40 minutes in the preheated oven.
