Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
- 125 milliliters Water (lukewarm)
- 15 milliliters Olive oil
- 5 grams Salt
- 10 grams Honey
- 2 grams Garlic powder (optional)
- 2 grams Dried herbs (optional, e.g., oregano or rosemary)
- 2 grams Coarse sea salt (for topping, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add garlic powder and dried herbs if using, to enhance the flavor of your breadsticks.
In a separate bowl, mix the sourdough starter, lukewarm water, olive oil, and honey until well combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for 4-6 hours, or until it doubles in size. Avoid placing it in a drafty area.
Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangular shape roughly 1/2 inch thick.
Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into thin strips about 1/2 inch wide. For uniformity, ensure the strips are of the same length and thickness.
Gently twist each strip to create a spiral shape (optional) and arrange the strips on the prepared baking sheets with a small gap between them.
Lightly brush the tops of the breadsticks with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse sea salt, if desired.
Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow the breadsticks to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy with marinara sauce, hummus, or as a standalone snack!
