Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Semolina flour
- 25 grams Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 50 milliliters Olive oil
- 125 milliliters Water
- 15 grams Extra sesame seeds for topping
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, semolina flour, sesame seeds, instant yeast, and sea salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the olive oil and water to the well. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix until the dough starts to come together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 20 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin stick, about 20-25 cm (8-10 inches) in length.
Prepare a plate with the extra sesame seeds. Roll each breadstick lightly over the seeds to coat them evenly.
Place the breadsticks on the prepared baking trays, leaving some space between each stick to allow them to expand slightly while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Remove the breadsticks from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
