String Cheese Sticks
Yield: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 11 ounces refrigerated bread stick dough
- 8 ounces string cheese
- 16 slices thinly sliced, deli-style hard salami
- 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce
- 1 beaten egg (optional)
- 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs (optional)
Instructions
- Spray cooking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Unroll dough; cut each bread stick in half. Fold each piece of dough in half, and press out to make a 1 1/2 x 4-inch rectangle.
- Cut each piece of string cheese in half to make 16 pieces, each 3 inches long. Roll one piece of hard salami over one stick of cheese. Place each cheese roll into middle of dough. Pull both ends up to meet in the center; stretch and pinch side of dough, covering completely, and pinching sides and ends to seal. Roll on table with palm of hand until fairly smooth, and no bare spots.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour before baking.
- Just before serving, heat oven to 425 degrees F. (Optional: Dip each stick into beaten egg, and roll in bread crumbs.) Place seam-side down on prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake for 5 to 8 minutes.
- Serve with spaghetti or pizza sauce.
