Herb Bread Sticks

Ingredients

• 0.5 cube fresh yeast (about 21 g)
• 600 g flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 40 ml olive oil
• 1 tsp freshly chopped thyme
• 1 tsp freshly chopped rosemary
• flour (for the work surface)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Dissolve the yeast in 300 ml lukewarm water. Mix the flour with the salt, place it in a bowl, press a well in the center, pour in the yeast mixture and oil, then add the herbs. Knead into a smooth dough by hand or with an electric hand mixer, then knead vigorously on a floured surface for about 10 minutes. If the dough feels too wet, fold in more flour; if it’s too dry, add a little more lukewarm water. Return the dough to the bowl, dust with flour, cover and let rise in a warm place for about an hour.

2. 2.

   Heat the grill.

3. 3.

   Knead the dough again, divide into eight equal portions, shape each into a 30 cm long strand, and wrap spirally around sticks. Place on the hot grill and bake for 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally. Serve with meat, fish or vegetables.
