Herbed Breadsticks

Recipe for Herbed breadsticks (Adapted)

Yes, I baked these babies this afternoon.

Breadsticks are my absolute favourite for dipping with soups, teas and even sauces. Add a few herbs to the mix and you have a perfect snack sitting right there!

Nic from Baking Sheet blogged about this one as a Cooking School recipe and it was in true terms a great learning experience. Proofing the yeast, the patience with the dough and gentleness with the sticks did indeed feel all so new and beautiful to me.

I almost followed Nic’s recipe for these Herbed Breadsticks to the Tee…Now, what kind of an oxymoron is that?

Well, instead of using 2 cups AP flour, I used half all purpose and half whole wheat flour. Instead of using dill and parsley, both of which I don’t care for much, I used my favourite oregano and thyme, a tsp of each and substituted caraway seeds with good ol’ cumin

 

The end result was fantastic and encouraging enough to keep me playing with yeast each weekend. By the way, Nic mentions 25 minutes for these to bake to perfection. Since I use a smaller counter top oven and I baked 4 at a time, mine got done in less than 15 minutes

One of them has already been dipped in tea and relished. Couldn’t wait till dinner for soup!

Thanks Nic. Your recipe has proven to be extremely dependable.

    Those look good…I used Nic’s recipe for the Classic White Bread and I blogged “I followed Nic’s recipe to the T”! Either she’s very convincing or we were separated at birth! I was also thinking about her breadsticks – now with your reco I should be making ’em soon.

    Thanks Anita.Yes her instructions are pretty easy to follow to the tee, and because it’s just not in me to follow a recipe blindly, i have to do my own little twist. In this case, i was forced to make replacements with AP flour and the herbs :)And all the others-thanks for your encouragement 🙂
