Method
- Activate the yeast by dissolving it with sugar in warm water. Let it stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a bowl, combine flour, salt, and olive oil. Add the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each into a rope shape and pinch the ends to form 'knuckles'.
- Brush the breadsticks with egg wash and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool the breadsticks on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, brush the breadsticks with garlic butter after baking. You can also get creative by adding food coloring or using black sesame seeds for a spooky effect!
