Here Are 5 Fun And Tasty 'Food On A Stick' Recipes You Must Try:
1. Pizza On A Stick
If you like pizza, you will love pizza on a stick! Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before cooking to prevent burning of the stick. Prepare pizza dough using milk, sugar, yeast and flour. Knead and let it rest. Once the dough is ready, roll it thinly and spread pizza sauce on it. Now take a skewer and put bell peppers, olives, jalapenos, onions and any other of your favourite pizza toppings. Keep some space in between the veggies. Now take the pizza strips and wrap them on the skewer. Apply some oil, add grated cheese and bake. Enjoy!
