Breadsticks


Ingredients:
  • Flour 1 cup
  • Salt ½ tsp
  • Yeast 10 gm
  • Sugar ½ tsp
  • Ghee 1-1/4 tsp
  • Egg 1
  • Sesame seeds as required
  • Onion seeds as required
  • Poppy seeds as required
  • Oil for greasing
Method:
  • Place yeast and sugar in a cup. Pour lukewarm water over this and cover. Let it rise for five to seven minutes. Sift flour and salt together. Place in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre of the flour and place yeast liquid into the well in the flour and mix. Rub in softened ghee and knead lightly for about ten minutes to form a smooth but fairly firm dough, using extra water if needed. Cover with a moist cloth and rest until doubled in size. Knock back the dough, allow it to rest further for ten minutes and then roll it into a rectangle about one fourth inch thick on a lightly floured work surface. Preheat oven to 230°C. Cut the rolled dough into one centimetre by eight centimetre strips. Take individual strips and roll into ten to twelve centimetre long sticks. Place them on a greased baking tray. If using egg, beat it with a fork lightly. Brush bread sticks with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds or onion seeds or poppy seeds. Bake in the preheated oven for fifteen minutes and then reduce temperature to 190°C for another ten minutes. Remove, cool and store in air-tight container.
