This sounds so good and so versatile! Not familiar with diastatic powder...what is it's purpose exactly?

Hi LG! These are addicting if you like bread and cheese. I like diastatic powder for its "hint" of flavor vs using a teaspoon of sugar, it also enhances the rise, texture and browning. I buy it from King Arthur and use it in all my yeast dough recipes:

Will do, although I can already tell they would fly out the Pike Place Market! A welcome addition indeed.

I thought these definitely looked like the bomb the first time I saw these, and I still think so now! Yum!!!

I'd love to make these...can you use regular eggs? I have those.

Hi Pat, Yes, use regular egg, no problem. ¼ cup of egg substitute = 1 large egg, so I would lightly whisk an egg use a couple tablespoons for the sticks, and the rest to help adhere cheese to the sticks. PS – I usually make a double recipe (16 long sticks) using one real egg for the sticks and egg substitute to adhere the cheese. Have fun making them! Let me know how it goes!! Check this recipe out at my blog for some step by step pictures. http://lapadia.wordpress.com/2009/12/05/cheesy-sticks/

Love these! You shared this recipe with me a while back, & this weekend, needing a change from leftover turkey, made Green Chile Stew. The Cheese Sticks were an excellent departure from tortillas. They truly are "The Bomb"!

These look fabulous! I'm working on a ricotta bread with honey and apricots - and as soon as I've got it nailed down, I'm trying these. And Amanda's cinnamon bread!

Thanks ChezSuzanne! I hope you share that ricotta/honey/apricot bread after you have it nailed, and I look forward to your comment after trying this recipe! As far as Amanda's cinnamon bread, DELICIOUS, I just finished writing her a comment...check it out.

I love bought cheese sticks and have never found the right recipe, hope this is it. I love the headnote. It's cute and clever, just right for Halloween. You can use orange cheese and put it on a black plate, too!
