Golden Cheese Sticks

Instructions

1. 1

   Mix all main dough ingredients except salt and butter in a stand mixer. Use the dough hook on low speed for 10 minutes, then high speed for 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Check dough consistency by stretching a small piece; it should form a thick film.

3. 3

   Add salt and butter (cut into small pieces). Mix on low speed for 8 minutes, then high speed for 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Check dough again; it should stretch into a thin, translucent film. If not, mix a few more minutes on low speed.

5. 5

   Shape dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and let ferment in the oven at 38°C for 1 hour.

6. 6

   After fermentation, poke the dough with a floured finger; if the hole doesn't spring back, it's ready.

7. 7

   Gently press the dough to deflate.

8. 8

   Divide dough into 10 equal pieces and shape each into a ball.

9. 9

   Roll each ball into an oval shape.

10. 10

    Cover and let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.

    Prepare mozzarella cheese on a flat plate.

13. 13

    Shape into a long cylinder.

14. 14

    Place on a baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and press into mozzarella cheese.

15. 15

    Let ferment in the oven at 35°C for 1 hour with a pan of hot water to maintain humidity.

    Bake for 16 minutes, covering with foil if browning too quickly.
