Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Whisk together until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Add Butter

    Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Add Water

    Gradually add the water, mixing until the dough begins to come together. Knead the dough gently on a floured surface for about 2-3 minutes until smooth.

  4. 4

    Chill the Dough

    Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the filling.

Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Combine Cheese and Seasonings

    In a medium bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to combine.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Roll Out Dough

    Once the dough has chilled, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 7

    Cut and Fill

    Cut the dough into strips about 1 inch wide. Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture at one end of each strip, then roll it up tightly.

  3. 8

    Seal Edges

    Pinch the edges of each rolled dough tightly to seal the filling inside.

Coating and Baking

  1. 9

    Prepare Egg Wash

    In a small bowl, beat the egg and set aside.

  2. 10

    Coat Cheese Sticks

    Dip each rolled cheese stick in the egg wash, then coat with breadcrumbs mixed with parmesan cheese.

  3. 11

    Bake

    Place the coated cheese sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
