Breadsticks

School run and at pick up time Sophie is always hungry as she comes out and always asks, "Do you have anything for me mummy" not wanting to be armed all the time with sweets and biscuits i decided to try a homemade breadstick.  A snack not just handy for school kicking out time but anytime and can be made to any flavour you fancy.

I made some sweet and some savoury and used a basic breadstick base then flavoured afterwards


Recipe 

125g strong white flour
125g plain white flour
3g dried yeast
5g salt
160ml warm water
drizzle of oil

knead all of the above apart from the oil till you get a sticky dough then add a drizzle of oil and work this in until the dough is smooth.

place in a bowl drizzle with a little more oil and cover leave to rise until doubled.

turn out onto a well floured surface add some flour on top so you dont get your rolling pin stuck and roll to a 5mm thickness.  Cut into stripes about 1cm.

To Flavour

for the savoury i brushed the breadsticks in olive oil and then made 4 different flavours

garlic, rosemary and sea salt
smoked paprika
Parmesan cheese
poppy seed and sesame seed

for the sweet i made 1 flavour and pushed small chunks of white chocolate and raisins into the bread dough

now leave your breadsticks to prove for 30 mins

To Cook

Pop in a preheat oven at 200c for 20 mins till golden brown.
