Plate of freshly baked cheese twists |
Ingredients:
- 500 g of puff pastry
- 200 g grated Emmental or Gruyere cheese
- 2 table spoons of cumin seeds
- 2 pinches of salt
- 1 egg
Now after the last tour and resting for 20 minutes, take the dough out and roll it out in a one centimeter thick dough plate. Now break the egg and beat the egg white and egg yolk together. Grate the cheese and mix the grated cheese with the cumin seeds the two pinches of salt. Spread half of the egg over the dough plate, then sprinkle half of the cheese mix over the dough.

Now cut 3 - 5 cm thick strips of cheese sticks from the dough, twist them up and place them on a prepared baking tray that has been well buttered (I am using my permanent baking paper instead that is non sticking).

After the sticks rested the 20 minutes, place the baking tray with the cheese sticks in the medium position in the oven for about 10 - 20 minutes. Don't go for any adjusted timing. Just check when they are getting golden brown on top, you got a winner there. I actually took them off one by one so that whenever one was golden brown and looked nice and crispy.
That's it. Ready you are for the evening snack pleasure. The only danger here is that they won't last very long though...

what can i say....super super yummy! they are also less salty compared to the ready made cheese sticks that usually can be found in supermarkets in germany. well done and i hope there'll be more to come for our pleasure in the future;)
ReplyDeleteTja, what can I say? I wish so too. But in order to make the puff pastry I really do need too much time at hand and nothing else to do. So I am afraid we will have them only on special occasions… But yeah, they are really good and since I made them they are nearly gone already :)
ReplyDeleteSuperb!!! I have never attempted to make puff pastry myself... lol I can tell you the clan in Jakarta will love you to bits if you present this yummy snack in Thailand... they usually buy this whenever they go to Bandung and the queue is super crowded!
ReplyDeleteBusiness opportunity bro ;-)
Ahhhh nali nali :) everybody (who has too much time on hands) can do it with a bit of expertise. Not that difficult in the end. but you think I should reserve the domain: www.order-your-cheese-twist.com and the phone number 0-800-cheesetwist? Haha Let's go for it then :). Shall make some for Thailand to have a test eating crowd and do my market research

ReplyDeleteWill you? Well, we have to see about that I guess... :) This really seems to be a lot of people's favorite I see.
ReplyDeleteWhen I ate your homemade cheese twists I felt like eating the cheese twists that I used to bought when I was in the Netherlands, but yours have richer taste, I guess it's because of the cumin seed and of course nothing beats the fresh and homemade one hahaha.
ReplyDeletea recipe to bake again... then you have to come here and get them haha
