BREADSTICKS WITH SOURDOUGH (YEAST OPTION TOO)



Breadsticks With Sourdough (Yeast Option Too) image

Just breadsticks with a very good flavor. My wife likes 'em unglazed or with garlic butter topping - either way. I enjoy breads made with both buttermilk and sourdough. No sourdough? No problem. A few pinches of yeast in a mixture of flour and water and 6 hours later you have a flavorful base to the recipe. This dough is designed to be a little stiff. Feel free to add a couple of additional tablespoons of buttermilk if desired.

  • To activate the sourdough starter, feed it with equal parts by weight of water and bread flour approximately 8–12 hours before you plan to make the dough.
  • When shaping the dough into breadsticks, roll them out into 12-inch ropes of even thickness, then cut them into 1-inch pieces. Alternatively, you can cut the dough into strips before rolling them out.
  • If you don't have garlic powder on hand, you can use minced fresh garlic instead. Just add it to the melted butter when you're brushing the breadsticks.
