Sesame Breadsticks

 

Source: www.goodvegetarianrecipes.com

 

 

INGREDIENTS:

3 - 3 1/2 c. All Purpose Flour

1 Tbsp. Honey

1 tsp. Salt

2 pkgs. Instant Dry Yeast

2- 1/4 Cup Hot Water

Toasted Sesame Seeds (as needed)

 

DIRECTIONS:

1. Mix all ingredients except for the sesame seeds.

2. Knead until dough is very smooth, elastic, and forms a ball. Add flour

occasionally while

kneading to prevent sticking.

3. Cover the dough with a damp dishtowel, and let rest for about five minutes.

4. Flour your hands and pat the dough into a rectangle on a well floured work

surface.

5. With a rolling pin, roll the dough to a 16x6 inch rectangle, pressing evenly

so the bread sticks will be

uniform in thickness.

6. Brush the dough lightly with olive oil.

7. Cover the dough with the damp dishtowel, and let rise until doubled in bulk,

1-1 ½ hours.

8. Heat oven to 425 degrees F.

9. Spray baking sheets with a vegetable cooking spray, or brush with a small

amount of olive oil.

10. Lightly brush the dough with water. Sprinkle the dough with Sesame Seeds,

and press them down

gently into the dough.

11.With a Chef’s knife, cut the dough across into 32 strips, each about ½ inch

wide. Stretch 1 strip of dough

to the width of a baking sheet.

12. Set the strip of dough on one of the prepared baking sheets, letting it come

just to the edges.

13. For a spiral effect when placing the strips of dough on the baking sheet,

hold down one end with one

hand while gently twisting the other end until you get a “spiral” effect.

14. Then press down both ends to the baking sheet so you won’t lose the spiral.

15. Repeat to stretch the remaining strips, arranging them ¾ inches apart.

16. Bake in the pre-heated oven two baking sheets at a time, until golden and

crisp,

17. Let cool 15-18 min, then transfer to wire rack and cool completely.

18. Keep the third sheet of unbaked bread sticks in the refrigerator until there

is room in the oven to bake them.

2 packages of yeast seems like an awful lot for that amount of flour. Has

anyone tried this recipe yet?
