We went to the sister-in-law's for Christmas dinner yesterday. Tasked with bringing an appetizer, I went looking for some new recipes. I made the savory sablé-like crackers from Tartine 3 (Cheddar Cheese Sablés), substituting chopped almonds for the pine nuts and fresh sage for the savory. They were very good but difficult to form and slice into crackers. I think if I make these again I'll grind the nuts into flour, as that is more usual for sablé cookies.
Then I looked for a good cheese stick recipe, and found this one from a link on an old post here on TFL. It was a bit of work but ended up very tasty. They were a big hit!
Happy eating, everyone!
They look mighty tasty! You may have inspired my next baking project.
Happy baking! Ski
They should be good with tonight's soup. I'm making a huge pot of stock with all the frozen chicken carcasses from the last year, cleaning out space in the deep freeze for the incoming turkey carcass!
. . . is making the stock and then the soups and risotto's from the stock. I smoked a big Hutterite chicken Christmas Eve and still have a lot of chicken left overs. It will soon be in the soup pot!
I searched thefreshloaf and googled some cheese stick recipes like yours and like the idea of using pizza dough for the cheese sticks. I have some fresh 00 starter on the go. I have always just used my bread flour liquid levain with the 00 pizza dough, but noted that David Snyder makes a 00 levain for his pizza dough and that is a good enough recommendation for me! I will likely incorporate some EVOO and garlic powder in the dough along with a large amount of sharp cheddar and reggiano parma cheeses. Heck, perhaps some rosemary. Your cheese sticks have got my appetite and imagination going!
Happy baking and cooking! Ski

Happy New 2017

Great looking cheese sticks and crackers!
Happy holidays :)
to have crackers and cheese sticks that are as nice as these. Now wonder they wee hits. Had to be yummy!
Well done LL!
They look delicious. I am not surprised that they were a big hit!
They sure look tasty.
Both bread sticks and crackers were very tasty (how not, with all that cheese?). The crackers are crisp and very flavourful (cheese, fresh herbs from the garden, four kinds of seeds) and the bread sticks very flaky with all the laminating and rolling the cheese in layers. I might try grissini with pizza dough sometime as well.
Nibble, nibble, nibble and suddenly they're all gone! :)
