  • 25 grams butter salted, melted
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt

Instructions

  • Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl (flour, yeast, salt, water, 50 ml olive oil, butter).

  • Divide the dough into 24 similarly sized pieces.
  • 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.
