Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 150 milliliters warm water
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 whole egg
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Stir the mixture with a spoon until it begins to come together as a dough.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch the dough down to release the air and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle approximately 1 cm thick.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into strips approximately 1 cm wide and 15 cm long.
Beat the egg in a small bowl, brush each dough strip lightly with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Twist each strip gently and place them on the prepared baking sheet with enough space between them.
Let the dough strips rest for about 10 minutes before baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the breadsticks are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and immediately brush the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the warm breadsticks to keep them crispy and add flavor.
Allow the breadsticks to cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy them as a snack or as an accompaniment to your favorite meals.
