Recipe Introduction

Adaptation of Bette Hagmans recipe for Cheese Sticks using Tom�s Bread mix. Please note this recipe is NOT Casein Free and is included for those who can use dairy products or it can be substituted with a casein free soy or nut based cheese.

List of Ingredients

1/2 lb. sharp Cheddar cheese
2 tbls. GF margarine or butter
1 large egg
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. ground pepper
1 cup of Gluten Free Pantry�s Tom's Celiac Light Bread Mix
1 teaspoon xanthum gum
Salt for topping



Recipe


Grate the cheese (approximately 2 cups). Set aside. Place butter in the bowl of a mixer and beat until creamy. Add egg, salt, and pepper. Beat until blended. Beat in the cheese a third at a time, until combined. Mix in flours and xanthan gum until well blended. Work the dough into a ball. Do not use any water to reduce stickiness.

Divide dough, rolling pieces between sheets of oil sprayed plastic wrap to form rectangle about 1/16 inch thick. Place on a baking sheet. Remove all plastic wrap and straighten out dough on baking sheet. Cut with a pastry
wheel into 1-inch squares. Repeat with the remaining dough. Prick each cracker 2 or 3 times with a fork. Lightly salt the crackers. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 5-6 minutes or until lightly golden. Turn
oven to 250 degrees and bake until crisp, approximately 30 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet.
