Ingredients
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Semolina flour
- 25 grams Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 50 milliliters Olive oil
- 125 milliliters Water
- 15 grams Extra sesame seeds for topping
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, semolina flour, sesame seeds, instant yeast, and sea salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Step 2
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the olive oil and water to the well. Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix until the dough starts to come together.
Step 3
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Step 6
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 20 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin stick, about 20-25 cm (8-10 inches) in length.
Step 7
Prepare a plate with the extra sesame seeds. Roll each breadstick lightly over the seeds to coat them evenly.
Step 8
Place the breadsticks on the prepared baking trays, leaving some space between each stick to allow them to expand slightly while baking.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Step 10
Remove the breadsticks from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
