Ingredients
- 500 g flour
- 1 packet dry yeast
- Water, as needed to form the dough
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- White and black sesame seeds
- Salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Tray
- Grease a baking tray with olive oil and set it aside.
- Mix the Dough
- In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and dry yeast. Mix well.
- Create a well in the center and pour in the olive oil.
- Gradually add water, kneading as you go, until you have a soft dough that doesn’t stick to your hands.
- Let the Dough Rise
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise for about 1 hour until it doubles in size.
- Shape the Breadsticks
- Once the dough has risen, take small pieces and roll them into thin cords, shaping them to your desired length.
- Lightly brush the breadsticks with olive oil and place them on the greased baking tray, leaving some space between each.
- Add Toppings and Proof Again
- Sprinkle the breadsticks with white and black sesame seeds or other seeds of your choice.
- Let them rest for another 30 minutes to rise slightly.
- Bake
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
- Bake the breadsticks for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
