Hello, Hive people and food lovers. I hope you are all well. I didn't sleep last night because of the baby who wakes up often and when I am tired I need something salty to wake me up and regain my energy. And since I am a pastry lover, I decided to make salty breadsticks.
If you like bread you will like breadsticks very much. When you try them, you will want to eat one more and another... And another...
They are the perfect choice for sunny mornings when you wake up motivated to have a great day with many activities. They will be your energy. They are also good for rainy and cold mornings because they will bring warmth to your home.
For preparing dough for salty breadsticks, we will need 10g of instant yeast.
250ml of warm milk.
One tablespoon of sugar.
One teaspoon of salt.
One tablespoon of yogurt.
Half a teaspoon of baking powder.
Add flour slowly and start to mix the mixture with a spoon.
It is about 350g of flour but doesn't add all at once. It must be added slowly until you make a good dough. It could be less or more flour, don't think about it, just mix and you will see when is enough. Then knead a good soft dough with your hands. Kneading is good antistress therapy. With our hands, we control the consistency of the dough.
Leave the dough covered to rest and rise for 20 minutes. And here it is...
Divide dough into 9 pieces. Every piece will be one stick.
Then start to prepare sticks... Pour a little oil on the table.
Take one by one piece and press it... Add oil to the table when it is needed.
Roll and form the stick.
Place sticks on the baking paper in the baking pan and coats them with water.
Preheat oven to 200 degrees and bake sticks for 10 minutes. While they are baking, in a small bowl prepare a mixture for decorating sticks. You will need one teaspoon of salt...
Two teaspoons of flour.
And six teaspoons of water.
Mix it until it becomes completely smooth.
After 10 minutes, take the breadsticks out of the oven and decorate them with a salty mixture. While you are doing that, preheat the oven to 230 degrees.
Return them to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes. Take them out of the oven and coat them with little oil.
And enjoy!
