Cheese-Herb Twist

Twist Bread ini sy bikin untuk jadi temen makan fettucine. Ternyata enak juga jadi cemilan :). Sy ama suamiku sih menikmati wangi 'mixed herb' dari bread sticks ini. Tapi anak2 keliatannya prefer pake keju ajah.

Nah berhubung oven sy ukurannya kecil, jadi bread sticks ini gak mungkin seukuran yg ada di resepnya (16-18 inches). Ukuran rata2 bread stick yg sy buat 25 cm (10 inches) saja. Akhirnya jadinya buanyaaak bgt.
Judul asli bread stick ini 'parmesan-herb twists'. Krn sy gak pake parmesan, tp sy ganti ama cheddar cheese, jadi judulnya pun menyesuaikan.

Serve this bread sticks before an Italian-inspired meal,
or bundle them together and pair them with a bottle of wine for a nice gift :)

1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus mor for work surface
1/2 tsp salt *
pinch of freshly ground pepper
2 tbsp mixed fresh herbs, such as sage, thyme, or rosemary, finely chopped **
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large egg white
1 tsp milk
1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese (about 1 ounce) ***

1. Preheat oven to 325 F. In a food processor, pulse together flour, salt, pepper, and herbs. Add oil and pulse until mixture resemble coarse meal. With machine running, add 1/4 cup cold water; process until dough just comes together.

2. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll out one piece of dough into a 7 by 9 inch sheet, 1/8 inch thick. In a small bowl, whisk together egg white and milk. Brush dough with egg mixture; springkle generously with cheese.

3. Cut dough along long edge into 1/2 inch strips. Twist each strip, and pull until 16-18 inches long. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. Repeat with other piece of dough.

4. Bake until dough just begins to brown and is firm to touch, 20-25 minutes. Transfer strips to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight plastic container at room temperature up to 5 days.

*kalau ngegantin parmesan dgn cheedar cheese, tambahin garamnya sesuai selera. Krn parmesan cheese cenderung lebih asin drpd cheedar cheese.
**kalau pake dry herbs, pakai 1/2 takaran saja
*** kalau pake parmesan -- 1/4 cup saja
