Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Instant yeast
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 150 ml Warm water
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 50 g Black olives, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add the warm water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough starts to form.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Flatten the dough slightly and sprinkle the chopped black olives, dried oregano, and garlic powder over it. Knead the dough gently for a few more minutes to incorporate the olives and herbs evenly.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap 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 a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles, then transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle about 1 cm thick.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into thin strips about 1.5 cm wide.
Take each strip and twist it gently several times, then place it on the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between each breadstick.
Brush the breadsticks lightly with the remaining olive oil.
Bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
Allow the breadsticks to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them on their own or with your favorite dip!
