Spicy Cheddar Cheese Straws Recipes

SPICY CHEDDAR CHEESE STRAWS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°. Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats(preferably) or with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan, Cheddar, cayenne, paprika and pepper.
• Lay a piece of parchment on your work surface and lightly flour; turn the puff pastry dough out and roll into a 10 x 12-inch rectangle. Brush the surface with the egg wash. Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the surface. With the rolling pin, lightly roll over the toppings to press into the surface of the dough. Refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes before cutting. Cut the dough into 12 equal-sized strips of dough. Working with one piece at a time, transfer the dough strip to the prepared baking sheets; twist each strip into a spiral. Repeat with the remaining dough. Refrigerate the strips for another 15 minutes before baking.
• When ready to bake, brush the remaining egg wash over the cheese straws. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Flip each cheese straw over and bake for another 2 minutes. Cool and serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Pulse first 5 ingredients in a food processor at 5-second intervals until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add half-and-half, and process 10 seconds or until dough forms a ball. (Dough may be wrapped in plastic wrap, sealed in a ziplock plastic freezer bag, and chilled up to 3 days.)
• Preheat oven to 350°. Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface; divide in half. Roll each half into a 12- x 8-inch rectangle (about 1/8 inch thick). Cut dough into 3/4-inch-wide strips using a sharp knife or fluted pastry wheel, dipping knife in flour after each cut to ensure clean cuts. Place strips on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
• Bake in preheated oven 18 to 20 minutes or until edges are well browned; cool on baking sheets on wire racks 30 minutes.
