Ingredients

Preparation

  1. 0. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C.
  2. 1. Squeeze out the excess liquid from the light mozzarella and low-fat cottage cheese. Crumble the mozzarella and mix it with the cottage cheese in a bowl.
  3. 2. Add the sesame oil, wheat flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Knead the dough by hand or with a mixer until it forms a smooth, uniform mixture (about 2–3 minutes).
  4. 3. Divide the dough into 2 equal parts. Shape each part into a long log that weighs about 100 g after baking.
  5. 4. Brush the tops of the breadsticks with a little oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  6. 5. Place the fries in the air fryer basket and cook at 180°C for 10 minutes, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Turn them halfway through.
  7. 6. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Serve with toppings such as cream cheese, ham, cheese, or hummus and avocado.
