The 'zesty' comes from
the Szechuan-style pepper blend used to season these nutty cheese
bread bites (or sticks).
Zesty
Nutty Cheese Bites
- 1 (16-ounce) package frozen
bread or pizza dough
1 1/4 cups (5 ounces) shredded Wisconsin Raclette cheese
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1 1/2 teaspoons Szechuan Style pepper blend
- Defrost dough according
to package directions.
- Flatten the dough with
a rolling pit to make a 12-inch circle. Sprinkle the remaining
ingredients on top. Knead and turn the dough about 10 times to
blend the ingredients well.
- Divide the dough in half
and then into quarters. Roll each quarter to 12-inch length.
Snip off into 4-inch pieces and roll or shape into 1-inch balls
or 3-inch breadsticks. Place each one on a nonstick or lightly
greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise for about 30 minutes.
- Bake at 400°F (205°C)
for about 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
Makes 48 servings.
