SPICY SESAME STICKS RECIPES

Steps:

• Cream the butter.
• Add flour, cayenne, salt and oregano. Mix until butter is completely blended into the flour mixture. May do in food processor.
• Blend in the egg and work dough with hands until it looks like cookie dough. Add the Parmesan cheese and blend in well.
• Divide into quarters. Divide each quarter into halves and roll out to make a long, finger- thick strand on a surface sprinkled with sesame seeds. They should be about 8 inch long.
• Divide each strand into six pieces making a dozen pieces from each quarter of dough. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake at 400 deg. for 12-15 minute or until pale golden.
• Great hot or at room temperature
• Makes about 48.

Steps:

• Add the flour, sesame seeds, cracked wheat, turmeric, beet powder, garlic powder, and salt to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
• In a small bowl, mix water and oil.
• Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
• Mix thoroughly. Knead any remaining bits into the dough by hand.
• Divide the dough in half and flatten each portion into 1-inch thick squares.
• Wrap each square in plastic and let them sit in the fridge for 30 minutes. This allows the dough to get firm before rolling.
• Once the dough has chilled, heat the oven to 350°F.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness and cut it into small rectangles (around 1/4-inch by 3/4-inch) using a knife or pizza wheel. Alternatively, you can roll and cut the dough according to your desired shape but make sure the size is uniform is to achieve even baking.
• Roll each piece between your palms to form think sticks (or leave the pieces as they are) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 10 minutes, then flip the pieces on the other side so that the bottoms don't brown.
• Continue baking for 5 to 10 minutes until the sticks are crisp but not brown.
• Remove the sticks from the oven and let them cool entirely. Store in an airtight container.
