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 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    โฑ๏ธ 10 min (ish) ๐ŸŒก๏ธ 400ยฐF
    AI Wisdom: Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking.
  2. 2

    In a food processor, pulse together flour, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add cold butter cubes and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

    โฑ๏ธ 5 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Visual cue: mixture should be crumbly.
  3. 3

    Add shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture and pulse until combined. Slowly add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough comes together.

    โฑ๏ธ 5 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Do not overmix; dough should just come together.
  4. 4

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and roll it into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle. Cut the dough into strips, about 1/2-inch wide and 4 inches long.

    โฑ๏ธ 10 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: You can use a ruler for precision.
  5. 5

    Place the cheese sticks on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg wash.

    โฑ๏ธ 2 min (ish)
  6. 6

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

    โฑ๏ธ 15 min (ish) ๐ŸŒก๏ธ 400ยฐF
    AI Wisdom: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for even browning.
  7. 7

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the spicy cheese sticks warm.
