Recipe : Mexi-Cheese Sticks

These sticks are a great party treat that can be prepared in advance because they
freeze beautifully. Just reheat them in a 375oF oven about 4-5 minutes before
serving.

Makes 8 servings

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
10 ounces ready-made pizza dough (unbaked)
1 teaspoon mild or hot chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded, deveined and minced
1 1/2 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded

Preheat oven to 400oF. Spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Sprinkle work surface with flour; with rolling pin, roll out dough on prepared
surface to form 18 x 11" rectangle. Beginning at short end, sprinkle half of dough
with chili and garlic powders.
In small bowl, combine pepper and Parmesan and cheddar cheeses; sprinkle over
seasoned half of dough.
Fold unseasoned half of dough over seasoned half, forming 9 x 11" rectangle;
press edges together to seal. With rolling pin, roll dough several times to press
filling into dough.
Cut dough in half, forming two 4 1/2 x 11" rectangles; cut into forty-eight 4 1/2"
strips. Twist each strip 6 or 7 times; place on prepared baking sheet, pressing
ends into pan to hold in place (if any filling escaped while twisting, sprinkle over
dough). Bake 15 minutes, until golden brown.
