Then add approximately 250 ml lukewarm water and salt to the bowl and knead everything into a smooth dough; adjust the amount of water if necessary. Keep covered and let rise another ~30 minutes.

Brush the baking sheet with oil. On a floured work surface shape the dough into a roll and cut it into 12 pieces. Form each piece into a small stick. Place them on the sheet and let rise for another ~15 minutes. Brush with water, sprinkle seeds if desired, and bake in the preheated oven (with a shallow pan of water inside) for about 10 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 180 °C (356 °F), brush the rolls again with water and bake for an additional 20–25 minutes until finished. Remove from the sheet and let cool.
