- 270 ml warm water
- 40 ml olive oil
- 50 grams baking soda

- 10 grams coarse sea salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Step 2
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 6
Divide the risen dough into 8 equal portions and roll each piece into a long, thin stick shape, about 20-25 cm in length.
Step 7
Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a large pot and carefully add the baking soda. Stir to dissolve.
Step 8
Using a slotted spoon, gently drop each dough stick into the boiling solution for about 30 seconds, then remove and place onto the prepared baking sheets.
Step 9
Sprinkle the sticks with coarse sea salt.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they achieve a deep, brown color.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and allow the Laugenstange to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
