SESAME BREADSTICKS



Sesame Breadsticks image

A basket of unusual breadsticks will vanish in no time. The fact that you scatter the strips of dough on baking sheets rather like pick-up sticks results in great texture: they're chewy where the strips overlap and crisp where they don't.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup warm water (105-115°F)
1 tsp active dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp olive oil
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 to 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp white sesame seeds (not toasted)
3 Tbsp black sesame seeds (not toasted; see Cooks' Note, below)

Steps:

  • Stir together water, yeast, and sugar in a medium bowl, and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, start over with new yeast.) Add oil, salt, and 1 cup flour and stir until a dough forms (it should be soft but not sticky), adding more flour a little at a time, if necessary.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, adding just enough flour to surface to keep dough from sticking, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let dough rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F with racks in upper and lower thirds. Oil 2 large baking sheets.
  • Punch down dough, then roll out on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 13-inch square. Lightly brush dough with water and sprinkle with sesame seeds, pressing to help them adhere. Cut dough into very thin strips (about 1/4-inch wide) with a pizza wheel or sharp knife.
  • Divide strips between baking sheets, scattering them loosely in a free-form pattern (strips may overlap). Bake, switching position of sheets halfway through, until crisp and golden-brown in spots, 10 to 15 minutes (if breadsticks begin to get too dark in spots, cover area with foil.) Transfer to racks to cool, about 10 minutes.
  • Do Ahead
  • Breadsticks can be made up to 1 week ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature. Reheat if desired before serving.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h20m

Yield 24-30 breadsticks, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup warm water
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 pinch granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups semolina flour
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for baking
1 cup sesame seeds, divided
6 1/2 ounces warm water (3/4 c plus 1 tbsp)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for baking

Steps:

  • Place 1/4 cup warm water in a small bowl with the yeast and a pinch of sugar. Stir to dissolve and let stand to proof, 5-7 minutes. If it is not foamy by then, the yeast is dead; get new yeast and start again.
  • Place semolina and all-purpose flours in work bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment. Add the salt, and 2 tbsp of sesame seeds. Mix briefly to combine.
  • Make a well in the pile of flour and add the proofed yeast, the remaining water, and the olive oil. Start the mixer on low speed until everything comes together and starts to get smooth, about 2 minutes. Increase to medium and knead another 2-3 minutes, until it begins to look velvety and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead by hand until smooth and elastic (about 30 turns, about 1 minute). Grease a clean mixing bowl with olive oil and place the dough into it, turning the dough over to coat both sides.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm, dark spot until it triples in volume, about 2 1/2 hours. (Alternatively, place dough in an oiled, airtight plastic container at least twice the size of the dough mass and refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperature before proceeding).
  • Preheat oven to 400°F Coat 2 baking sheets each with 1 1/2 to 2 tbsp olive oil.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board. Cut dough in 6 equal pieces. Cover the unused pieces with a damp kitchen towel.
  • Cut each piece into 4 or 5 equal pieces, each about the size of a medium walnut (3/4 to 1 ounce each). Using both hands, roll each piece against the board until it forms a 12 to 14 inch rope. Do not flour the board; the stickiness helps the dough stretch out.
  • Place the rope on the baking sheet, rolling it to coat with oil. Spaced 1/2 inch apart, each sheet should hold 10 to 12 breadsticks.
  • When all the breadsticks are made, coat with sesame seeds: pour the seeds into a long narrow pile, as long as the bread sticks and twice as wide. Starting with the first breadstick (which will be most relaxed and easiest to work with), roll each breadstick in the sesame seeds, coating well, then return it to the sheet pan. Sprinkle each with a bit of kosher salt and let rest 10 minutes.
  • Bake 14-20 minutes. Halfway through, turn each sheet pan 180° in the oven, and swap racks, to ensure even browning. They are done when they are an even light golden brown (the ends may be a little darker). Cool completely on the baking sheets. Store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.

WHOLE-WHEAT BREADSTICKS WITH SESAME



Whole-Wheat Breadsticks With Sesame image

Sesame seeds are used in both the dough and the coating of these nutty-tasting breadsticks.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h30m

Yield Two dozen breadsticks

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 1/2 cup lukewarm water
1 teaspoon honey, agave nectar, malt extract or rice syrup
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cups whole-wheat flour
About 1 1/3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 egg white, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Dissolve the yeast in the water in a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir in the honey, agave nectar, malt extract or rice syrup. Let stand for five minutes. Stir in the olive oil.
  • Combine the whole-wheat flour, 1 cup of the unbleached all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of the sesame seeds and the salt. Add to the liquid mixture. If kneading by hand, stir until you can turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead for 10 minutes, adding flour as necessary to keep the dough from sticking to your hands and worktop. If using an electric mixer, mix at medium speed for 8 to 10 minutes. Add flour as necessary so that the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. The dough should be elastic and just slightly sticky.
  • Lightly flour your work surface or brush with olive oil. Using your hands or a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 14-by-4-inch rectangle. Make sure there is enough flour or oil underneath the dough so that it doesn't stick to the work surface. Brush the top with oil. Cover with plastic wrap, then with a damp kitchen towel. Allow to rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until nearly doubled. (If you need the workspace, lightly oil the underside of a sheet pan and place the dough on top.)
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees with the racks positioned in the middle and upper thirds of the interior space. Brush sheet pans with olive oil. Cut the dough crosswise into four equal pieces. Brush each piece with beaten egg white, then roll each piece in 1 tablespoon of the remaining sesame seeds, until coated. Cut each piece crosswise into six equal pieces. Roll each between the board and your hands as if you were making a rope until it is as long as the baking sheet. For a tighter strip, twist the strands from one end to the other. Place 1 inch apart on the baking sheets until you've filled two baking sheets. Continue to shape the remaining breadsticks while the first batch is baking.
  • Place in the oven, and bake 15 minutes. Switch the pans top to bottom and front to back, and bake another 10 minutes until the breadsticks are nicely browned (they will be darker on the bottom). Remove from the heat, and cool on a rack. Shape and bake any remaining dough as instructed.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Before you start cooking, measure and prep all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
  • Activate the yeast properly: If you're using active dry yeast, it's important to activate it before using it. To do this, dissolve the yeast in warm water with a little sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy. This will ensure that the yeast is active and will help your breadsticks rise properly.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough is an important step in making breadsticks. It helps to develop the gluten in the flour, which gives the breadsticks their structure and elasticity. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: After you've kneaded the dough, let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to work and produce carbon dioxide, which will help the breadsticks rise.
  • Brush the breadsticks with oil before baking: Before you bake the breadsticks, brush them with olive oil. This will help them to brown evenly and give them a crispy crust.

Conclusion:

Sesame breadsticks are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a simple snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious sesame breadsticks at home. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
