Prep time: 1 hour, 15 min
Cook time: 15- 20 min
Ready in: 1 hour, 30- 35 min
Serves: 6- 12

Ingredients: 
WRAPPERS:
2 c. flour (+ more for rolling)
1 tsp. sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. ice water

12 mozarella cheese sticks- cut in half
Olive oil
1 small batch Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Directions:
- Sift flour into a large mixer bowl fitted with hook
- Sprinkle sugar over flour
- Lightly beat egg with salt
- Stir 1/4 c. water into egg
- Add egg mixture to flour with mixer on low
- Stir in as much of the remaining water as needed to form a sticky batter
- Knead in mixer until smooth and elastic, about 5 min
- Cover dough and let rest for at least 30 min
- Knead dough briefly, then cut in half
- Turn out onto a lightly floured surface
- Roll each half into a cylinder
- Preheat oven to 400
- Prep baking sheet with cooking spray
- Lightly score each dough cylinder so that you have 12 equal pieces
- Roll each piece into a 3 1/2" square
- Stack wrappers between parchment paper while you are preparing remainder, covering with a damp cloth so that they don't dry out
- If necessary, lightly dust wrappers with flour or cornstarch to prevent from sticking to paper or each other
- Once all 24 wrappers are rolled out, place 1 piece cheese in each, about 1" from margin of wrapper
- Fold sides in and roll up as tightly as possible
- Place each bundle, seam side down, on baking tray
- Very lightly spray or brush all cheese sticks with olive oil
- Bake 10- 12 min and remove tray from oven
- Flip all sticks and spray/ brush again with olive oil
- Return to oven and bake until golden brown, about 5- 8 min
- Keep an eye on sticks in final moments of baking, and if there is any cheese leaking or bursting, remove from oven immediately
- Sticks are best warm and fresh; serve immediately with marinara sauce
