Method
Dough Preparation
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Whisk together until well combined.
Add Wet Ingredients
Add the vegetable oil, water, and egg to the dry mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Rest the Dough
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Filling Preparation
Prepare Cheese Filling
In a bowl, combine the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. Mix well and set aside.
Assembly
Roll Out the Dough
After resting, roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Cut the Dough
Cut the rolled-out dough into strips about 1 inch wide.
Fill the Strips
Place a small amount of the cheese mixture at one end of each strip and fold over to enclose the filling. Pinch the edges to seal.
Coating and Frying
Prepare Coating
In a shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Coat the Cheese Sticks
Dredge each stuffed dough strip in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
Heat Oil for Frying
In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.
Fry the Cheese Sticks
Carefully add the coated cheese sticks to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
