Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 150 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 60 milliliters Ice water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 large Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 20 grams Sesame seeds or grated Parmesan (optional topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar together.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a rectangle. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6

Once chilled, roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into sticks about 1/2 inch wide and 6 inches long.

Step 7

Place the sticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.

Step 8

Brush the sticks lightly with beaten egg to give them a golden crust as they bake.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or grated Parmesan over the sticks for added flavor and texture.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the sticks are golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
