Sesame bread sticks are a crispy, savory snack loved by all. Making them at home is easy and requires just a few ingredients. Here’s a basic recipe to get you started.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp instant yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 egg yolk (for brushing)
- Sesame seeds (for coating)
Steps:
1. Mix the dough: Combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a bowl. Add warm water and olive oil, then knead into a smooth dough (about 5-7 minutes). Let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
2. Shape the sticks: Punch down the dough and roll it into a thin rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick). Cut into long, narrow strips (about 1/2 inch wide). Twist each strip lightly for a classic shape.
3. Coat and bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush each stick with egg yolk and roll in sesame seeds. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy.
Variations:
- Add garlic powder or herbs to the dough for extra flavor.
- Use whole wheat flour for a healthier twist.
- Drizzle with honey after baking for a sweet version.
