When my daughter was in school, her class had a recipe exchange party. The kids would bring something to eat to share with the class and include the recipe. My daughter came home with several recipes, but she raved about the delicious Sea Salt Sticks she had and wanted to make them for the family. They go well with spaghetti! You may even add 2 tablespoons poppy seeds to the flour before mixing. —Marina Castle Kelley, Canyon Country, CA

Updated: Nov. 09, 2023

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3-1/4 to 3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/4 cups water
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • TOPPING:
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Coarse sea salt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°. In a large bowl, mix sugar, yeast, salt and 2 cups flour. In a small saucepan, heat water and oil to 120°-130°; stir into dry ingredients. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky). Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
  2. Divide dough into 20 portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a14-in. rope. Place ropes 1 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, 15-20 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk egg white with water; brush over tops of dough. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Bake until light brown, 20-25 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks. Serve warm.

Carrot Hummus Tips

How can you make carrot hummus your own?

Smoked paprika will give your carrot hummus some sweet and smoky flavor, whether you mix it in or sprinkle it on top. After preparing the hummus, you could also consider stirring in minced fresh parsley or thyme.

What other toppings can you put on carrot hummus?

Toasted pumpkin seeds or pepitas would be delicious, and chopped, toasted walnuts would lend a bit of richness. For a juicy bite along with a snappy crunch, pomegranate arils look like little gems atop a fresh bowl of hummus. Don’t be intimidated: It’s actually easy to learn how to remove pomegranate seeds.

What else can you serve with carrot hummus?

For a sweet surprise, serve the hummus with cinnamon-spice pita chips. I also love crackers, pita bread, and fresh raw veggies with carrot hummus. You can also turn carrot hummus into a layered dip or spread it on bread to make a sandwich. Check out other recipes with hummus to find other ways to use the savory spread.

How long will carrot hummus last?

The carrot hummus will stay fresh for 5 to 7 days in an airtight container in the fridge, though it’s unlikely to stick around that long. If you liked this recipe, try more of our hummus recipes.

For holidays and special occasions my family loves a good old fashioned baked ham. One year I decided to see if I could duplicate the crunchy glaze on a Honey Baked Ham. After tweaking it a couple times I have developed a pretty good imitation. It is delicious. I get asked to make ham to take to pot lucks and parties because everyone likes my version so well. The best part is that it is really easy. If you have a kitchen torch you can torch the sugar instead of broiling it. That method is just as easy. —Donna Gribbins, Shelbyville, Kentucky

Copycat KFC Coleslaw Tips

Can you use other kinds of cabbage to make copycat KFC coleslaw?

KFC uses chopped green cabbage in their famous coleslaw recipe. Check out our tips for how to shred cabbage if you're looking to do it yourself. However, if you're looking for convenience, you can use a prepackaged coleslaw mix from the grocery store (the mixes usually contain carrots, too!).

How can you keep copycat KFC coleslaw from being watery?

It is completely normal for the cabbage to release water when mixed with the other ingredients in this recipe. This helps contribute to the dressing, and evenly coats the coleslaw. If you don't like so much liquid, you can easily drain it off before serving. Better yet, serve this coleslaw with a slotted spoon!

What can you serve with copycat KFC coleslaw?

Of course, fried chicken and other copycat KFC recipes come to mind! However, this copycat KFC coleslaw recipe is versatile: It can be served with a fish fry, on top a pulled pork sandwich or as your new favorite side dish at a picnic.
