Basic Breadsticks

You’ll need

1½ cups of all-purpose flour, sifted

½ teaspoon of salt

½ teaspoon of instant yeast

1½ tablespoon of honey

1 tablespoon of olive oil

½ cup of room temperature water

1 egg + 1 tablespoon of cold water, whisked together

Sea salt

Freshly ground pepper

Nigella seeds

Caraway seeds

Combine together the flour, salt, honey, yeast, olive oil 

and water and mix to form a ball. 

Dust some flour onto your counter and move the dough onto it. 

Knead the dough until everything is mixed together 

and you get a dough that is medium in firmness.

Transfer to a greased bowl and leave to rest for an hour 

and a half or until it doubles in size. 

Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius and line a baking sheet 

with baking paper before working for a second time with the dough.

When done rising, punch down the dough 

and transfer it back to the counter. 

Knead for 8 to 10 minutes until it gets pliable and stretchy. 

Divide it into equal pieces. 

Make sure to cover the pieces you’re not working with. 

One at a time, roll each piece out into a rectangle 

and brush it with egg wash. 

Sprinkle on adequate sea salt, pepper 

and both nigella and caraway seeds. Cut the dough with a pizza cutter

 into equal strips and twist each one. 

Place them on the baking sheet with equal widths between each.

 Bake for approximately 15 minutes. 

Allow to cool completely before serving.
