Ingredients
- 1/4 cup water, for steaming
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 6 yellow cheddar cheese sticks, frozen
- 1 tube (11 ounces) refrigerated pizza dough, cut lengthwise in 6 thin strips
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning
- Pretzel salt, as desired
Instructions
Step 1
Pour 1/4 cup water into the pot. Spray the Cook & Crisp Basket with cooking spray and place in the pot.
Step 2
Wrap each frozen cheese stick with 1 strip of dough. Carefully seal the top and bottom with your fingers.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 teaspoon water. Brush the dough-wrapped cheese sticks with the egg wash, then sprinkle evenly with the ranch seasoning. Brush the dough-wrapped cheese sticks again with the egg wash, then sprinkle with the pretzel salt as desired.
Step 4
Place two of the dough-wrapped cheese sticks in the basket spaced as far apart as possible so they do not touch.
Step 5
Close the lid and move the slider to STEAMCRISP. Select STEAM & CRISP, set temperature to 375°F, and set time to 7 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin cooking (PrE will display for approx. 5 minutes as the unit steams, then the timer will start counting down).
Step 6
When cooking is complete, remove the pretzel twists, set aside, and cover to keep warm. Repeat all steps with the remaining ingredients.
