Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Step 2
Stir in the honey and olive oil into the yeast mixture.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil together.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
Step 5
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 6
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Step 7
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 8
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Step 9
Roll each piece into a 10-inch long stick and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
Step 10
Brush the bread sticks with a little additional olive oil to give them a nice crust.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 12
Allow the bread sticks to cool slightly before serving.
