Savory Caraway-Cheese Crisps image

These cookies are surprisingly rich and light at the same time. Served with cheese and grapes, they are the perfect ending to a multicourse dinner.

Yield makes about 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 3/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into pieces
8 ounces mascarpone cheese
1 large egg
2 tablespoons caraway seeds, for sprinkling
1 tablespoon coarse salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the flour, baking soda, table salt, and sugar on low speed to combine. Add the butter, one piece at a time, beating until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the mascarpone, and beat just until a soft dough forms, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Turn out the dough onto a clean work surface. Divide in half, and shape each into a flattened square; wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • On a well-floured work surface, roll out each piece of dough into a 13-inch square about 1/8 inch thick. Stack squares between parchment paper, and place on a baking sheet; chill in freezer until firm, about 25 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon water. Remove one dough square from the freezer, and brush the entire surface with egg wash. Using a pizza wheel or sharp knife, cut the dough into triangles.(They should be roughly the same size, but the shapes don't have to be uniform.) Repeat with remaining dough square.
  • Transfer the dough pieces to the prepared baking sheets, about .inch apart. Sprinkle with caraway seeds and coarse salt. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until crisps are golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Crisps can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • After the dough has been rolled out very thin, it is cut into irregular triangles using a pizza wheel.
  • The triangles are brushed with egg wash and sprinkled with caraway seeds and salt before baking.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Always check the expiration date of your yeast before using it. Lukewarm water (105-115°F) is ideal for activating dry active yeast. Sprinkle the yeast on top of the water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy. This ensures that the yeast is active and will help the dough rise properly.
  • Use high-quality, fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your Swiss twists. Use unsalted butter for a richer flavor, and make sure the eggs are fresh and at room temperature.
  • Knead the dough correctly: Kneading the dough helps develop the gluten, which gives the Swiss twists their chewy texture. Knead the dough for at least 5-7 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: After kneading, place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place (75-85°F) for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Shape the Swiss twists carefully: When shaping the Swiss twists, be careful not to over-roll them, as this can make them tough. Roll them just enough to form a tight spiral.
  • Bake the Swiss twists at the right temperature: The oven temperature should be set to 375°F. This will help the Swiss twists bake evenly and prevent them from burning.

Conclusion:

Crisp caraway Swiss twists are a delicious and versatile pastry that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized with different fillings and toppings. Whether you prefer them plain, with cheese, or with fruit, these Swiss twists are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or meal, give this recipe a try.
