BREAD STICKS

This recipe is not for classic bread sticks, but for one of my own recipes that I adapted to my needs. Classic bread sticks are made of flour, water, yeast, and a little oil. Basically I use crazy dough here and I usually make a double dose of this in the recipe and divide it into 4 parts and freeze it. When I need dough, I take it out of the freezer and use it to make bread sticks or pizza. You can use crazy dough for different pastries, both sweet and savory. From this dose you will make 2 breads as in picture and if it's too much for you, feel free to freeze one part of the dough. My kids are crazy about this bread, maybe  because it is made of crazy dough hehehe. Bread sticks go excellent with cheese in oven.

Ingredients:

  • 500 g of flour (3 full cups)
  • about 600 ml of plain yogurt (2 cups plus some more)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 cube of yeast (20 g or 1 pack of dry yeast) dissolved in 100 ml of warm water
  • 3 tablespoons softened butter

For coating

  • 1 egg
  • a little butter
  • salt
  • sesame seeds

Preparation:

  1. Dissolve yeast in warm water, add the sugar. Stir and leave to dissolve. 
  2. Then add the yogurt, salt and gradually add the sifted flour. You can also use a mixer. I do.
  3. Knead a soft dough, a little sticky, and finally add the butter and knead the dough with your hand. If you still find the dough very sticky, add flour. 
  4. Leave the dough in warm place and let it rise for about 1 hour.
  5. Then divide it into 2 parts.
  6. Spread one dough on a non-stick pan in a rectangular shape. Coat an egg and melted butter on top. Sprinkle with salt and sesame seeds. Using a pizza roller knife, cut the dough into strips.

  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 C (390 F) degrees until nicely browned, about 15 minutes.
