Equipment

Ingredients

  • 350 grams plain flour or bread flour
  • 2 grams active dry yeast
  • 180 ml water lukewarm
  • 50 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 25 grams butter salted, melted
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt

Topping

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds white or black

Instructions

  • Stir together all the ingredients in a large bowl (flour, yeast, salt, warm water, 50 ml olive oil, butter).
  • Knead by hand or use a stand mixer until the dough is smooth. It should pull away from the sides of the bowl (takes about 5 minutes by hand).
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 190℃ (374℉).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces (each should weigh about 25-26 grams).
  • Roll each piece into a long log about 25-30 cm and 1 cm thick (12 inches by 0.4 inches).
  • Space them out so you have 12 on each baking sheet.
  • Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Bake for 22-24 minutes until crisp and golden brown.
  • Allow to cool on a wire rack.
  • Repeat with the second round of breadsticks.
  • Enjoy.
