Angela's Bread Sticks
Dry ingredients:
4 cups all-purpose organic flour
1 cup whole wheat organic flour
1 tsp. salt
Wet ingredients:
1 TB yeast
2 cups warm water (110 degrees)
2 TB sugar
In a separate bowl or glass pitcher mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Watch a little chemical reaction as it bubbles! Measure dry ingredients into a large bowl and stir slowly. After the yeast mixture bubbles for a few minutes stir yeast mixture into flour. Stir or mix with your hands until it becomes a smooth. Add more water by the teaspoon if too dry. Add a bit of flour if it is too wet. Roll into shapes, long snakes, letters or animals. Bake at 400 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes (depending on size & shape)
It’s easy to "dress up" your bread sticks before you bake them. Coat with olive oil or butter then sprinkle on Italian herbs and parmesan cheese, sesame seeds, cinnamon and sugar, or mustard. These are all favorites at LCC!
