Cheese Breadsticks Recipe By : Cooking Light, Sept 1994 Yield: 44 breadsticks (serving size: 1 breadstick)
3 1/4 cups bread flour 3/4 cup grated fresh Romano cheese -- divided 1/4 cup instant nonfat dry milk powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper 1 package 50%-faster-rising dry yeast 18 tablespoons very warm water -- 120 to 130 degrees 2 teaspoons olive oil Vegetable cooking spray 2 teaspoons water 1 egg white -- lightly beaten 2 tablespoons cornmeal
Place flour, 1/2 cup cheese, and next 5 ingredients in food processor, and pulse 6 times or until blended. With processor running, slowly add very warm water and oil through food chute; process until dough leaves sides of bowl and forms a ball.
Turn dough out onto a floured surface; kneadd lightly 5 times. Place dough into a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 40 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
Punch dough down; turn out onto a floured surface. Divide dough in half; roll each portion into a 14 x 10-inch rectangle. Combine 2 teaspoons water and egg white, and brush evenly over each rectangle; sprinkle each rectangle with half of remaining cheese. Using fingertips, press cheese into dough.
Cut each rectangle into 22 (10-inch-long) strips. Gently pick up both ends of each strip, and twist dough. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray, and sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon cornmeal.
Place twisted strips of dough 1 inch apart on baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 20 minutes or until puffy.
Bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes or until golden. Remove from pans; let cool on wire racks.
