Breadsticks

Step by step

1. 1

   Crumble the yeast over the water and let it rest (without stirring).

   
2. 2

   In a bowl, add the flour and salt, and mix a little. Add the yeast with the water and combine everything.

   
3. 3

   Add the oil and keep mixing until combined.

   
4. 4

   Turn out onto the counter and keep kneading with your hands.

   
5. 5

   Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes.

   
6. 6

   Roll out the dough with a rolling pin, always adding flour underneath and on top so it doesn't stick.

   
7. 7

   Trim the excess dough with a knife.

   
8. 8

   Moisten the entire surface of the dough with water.

   
9. 9

   Sprinkle on whatever spices you like — I'm going to use: oregano, sweet paprika, crushed red pepper and sesame seeds.

   
10. 10

    Cut the breadsticks and place them on a baking sheet.

    
11. 11

    Cover with plastic wrap and let them rest for 30 minutes.

    
12. 12

    Trim the excess dough and bake at 200°C (400°F) for about 8 minutes.
