Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Rice flour
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 cup Water
- as needed Oil for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, rice flour, instant yeast, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, and black pepper.
Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry mixture, add olive oil and gradually pour in water. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough briefly on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Add a small amount of flour if the dough is too sticky.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the yeast to activate slightly.
After resting, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Cut the dough into long strips, approximately 4-5 inches long and 1/2 inch wide, to form the snack sticks.
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the snack sticks in batches, ensuring they are not overcrowded, for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried snack sticks with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Cool slightly and serve warm. Enjoy these crunchy low sodium snack sticks as is or with your favorite low sodium dipping sauce.
