By Demi

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup wholewheat flour
• 1/4 cup grated fresh pecorino Romano cheese
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 5 tbsp water
• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• cooking spray

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450F. Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, cheese, baking powder, and pepper in a medium bowl. Add 5 tbsp water and oil; stir until dough forms. Turn dough out onto a floured surface; knead lightly 4 or 5 times. Divide dough into 18 equal portions, shaping each portion into an 8 inch rope. Place ropes on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.

Bake at 450F for 10 minutes until bottoms are golden brown. Remove from oven; cool on a wire rack.
