Another one of my favorite traditions is to make these cheese sticks at Christmas time. There isn't a Christmas that doesn't go by that I don't make these. They are fairly easy to make and boy do they go fast. Everybody loves them, and trust me they go very well with beer. Here are the ingredients you will need:
- 250 gr (8.93 oz) ricotta cheese
- 200 gr (7.14 oz) plain yogurt
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 egg for egg wash
- 200 gr (7.14 oz) butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 25 gr of fresh yeast or 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 500 (18 oz) gr all purpose flour
- Parmesan cheese
- caraway seeds
In a large bowl mix the yeast, yogurt, ricotta cheese, melted butter, salt and the egg yolk together, basically everything except the flour. Now add the flour and mix well, you can use a mixer if you wish. Put in fridge over night. Flour your work surface and roll out the dough. You can cut them in any shapes you want, but traditionally they are cut into long sticks as you can see in the picture above. Make sure the dough is about 1/4 inch or 1/2 cm thick. Brush with egg wash, and sprinkle parmesan cheese and caraway seeds on each stick. Bake for about 20 min at 375 degrees or until golden brown. They are simply delicious especially if you're a cheese lover. Enjoy!
