Pizza sticks with cheese and tomato sauce. Deliciously twisted pizza sticks are perfect for the packed lunch or for the tapas table. They are easy to make and taste great. The delicious sticks are also called pizza twisters
When I was studying, I loved having delicious packed lunches. It just made the day a little better – and it was specially baked goods that I had on the packed lunch. If you also want to try something delicious for the packed lunch, then I can recommend these pizza sticks. You can easily fill them with homemade pizza sauce – just make sure it is not too liquid. I made a tomato-pesto mix.
Ingredients
Dough
12.5 g of yeast
600 ml of cold water
1 nos of egg
1 tsp. salt
1 teaspoon sugar
200 g coarse flour
1 tbsp. oil
750-800 g wheat flour
Filling
3 tbsp. red pesto
4 tbsp. tomato puree
3 tbsp. cold water
1 / 2-1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. oregano
250 g grated mozzarella cheese
Brushing
2 pcs. beaten eggs
oregano and sesame
Here’s how you do it
- Put water in a bowl and dissolve yeast in it. I use my mixer for this recipe.
- Add salt, sugar, eggs and oil.
- Add the coarse flour and stir it into the water.
- Now add flour and knead the dough for about 10 minutes at low speed – until the dough seems smooth and cohesive.
- Let the dough rise for 1 hour in a warm place with a damp cloth over it.
- While the dough is rising, the filling must be made.
- In a bowl, mix all the ingredients for the filling (except cheese). Stir well and season with salt.
- When the dough has risen, add a little flour to the kitchen table. Turn the dough out.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle.
- Spread the sauce on and sprinkle with cheese.
- Now fold 1/3 of the dough towards the middle and then fold the last third over the first so that the dough is in 3 layers. Gently roll on the dough.
- Now cut out the dough (with a sharp knife or a dough cutter) into 20 strips (approximately 2-3 cm wide). Twist each strip by grabbing each end and twisting opposite.
- Place the pizza sticks on a baking sheet. Turn the oven to 200 degrees ordinary oven.
- Brush the pizza sticks with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame and oregano. Let the bars rise until the oven is hot (about 20-30 minutes).
- Bake in the middle of the oven one plate at a time for about 20-25 minutes.
