๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

๐ŸŽฏ Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    โฑ๏ธ 5 min (ish) ๐ŸŒก๏ธ 375ยฐF
    AI Wisdom: Use a baking sheet with a lip to prevent cheese stick mixture from sliding off.
  2. 2

    In a food processor, combine flour, salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and cold butter. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

    โฑ๏ธ 3 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Pulsing helps incorporate the butter without melting it completely.
  3. 3

    Add cheddar cheese and pulse until combined. Slowly add cold water while pulsing until the dough comes together.

    โฑ๏ธ 2 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Do not overmix; the dough should just come together.
  4. 4

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle.

    โฑ๏ธ 10 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Use a bench scraper to help lift the dough if it sticks.
  5. 5

    Sprinkle parmesan cheese, parsley, and black pepper over the dough. Gently press the toppings into the dough.

    โฑ๏ธ 5 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Even distribution of toppings ensures flavor in every bite.
  6. 6

    Cut the dough into strips about 1/2-inch wide and 6 inches long. Twist each strip and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

    โฑ๏ธ 10 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Twisting the strips adds a visually appealing element.
  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the cheese sticks are golden brown and crispy.

    โฑ๏ธ 18 min (ish) ๐ŸŒก๏ธ 375ยฐF
    AI Wisdom: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
  8. 8

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the cheese sticks warm.

    โฑ๏ธ 5 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Cooling slightly allows the cheese sticks to set and become easier to handle.
