Equipment

  • 2 large baking sheets
  • parchment paper
  • 1 Rolling Pin

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 1/3 cups shredded aged Gouda cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • Olivelle Sweet Cream Butter Infused Olive Oil
  • Coarse sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Stir together the flour, cheese and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl, using a fork. Pour in the cream and stir with a flexible spatula until no loose flour remains. Dump the dough onto a floured work surface. With floured hands, pat the dough into a rectangle. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 12"x17" rectangle, between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick, with a long side facing you. Reflour your work surface and move the dough around as you roll to keep it from sticking.
  • Trim the rectangle to about 10 1/2" x 15". Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, thinly slice the dough lengthwise into 1/4 inch strips. Reroll and slice the scraps. Place 16 - 18 strips on each prepared baking sheet, leaving 1/2 inch between each one. Lightly brush cheese sticks with butter olive oil and sprinkle lightly with coarse sea salt.
  • Bake for 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheets at the halfway point, until the sticks are lightly browned. Let cool and serve. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
