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.

SESAME SEED BREADSTICKS
These crispy breadsticks will keep for weeks if refrigerated. Make them with all purpose or bread flour or a mix of whole wheat and white. A KitchenAid stand mixer does all the work, or you can knead the dough by hand. The dough needs to be a little sticky to hold the seeds. If not, rub a bit of olive oil on your hands when rolling. - Jenny Jones

Steps:
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread sesame seeds on wax paper.
- In a mixing bowl combine flour(s), yeast, salt & sugar.
- Add oil & enough water to make a soft dough. Knead for one minute with a KitchenAid mixer or about 50 times by hand on a barely floured surface. DO NOT ADD TOO MUCH FLOUR WHEN KNEADING.
- On an unfloured surface, roll into 12 8-inch sticks & coat each stick with sesame seeds. If seeds don't stick, rub a little oil on your hands when rolling.
- Place on baking sheet & let rise in a warm place until double (45 min - 1 hour)
- Preheat oven to 325° F and bake for 25 minutes.
- Turn the breadsticks over and bake another 20-25 minutes.
- Test the fattest breadstick and if it's still soft in the middle, turn oven off and prop open the door. Let the oven cool down for about 20 minutes. Return baking sheet to the oven with the door open a few inches for up to an hour until breadsticks are totally dry throughout.
- Cool completely. Store in a sealed container.
WHOLE WHEAT BREADSTICKS
I didn't test a gluten-free breadstick. If you need one, try substituting the gluten-free flour mix by my colleague Melissa Clark for the wheat flour in this week's recipes. These grainy breadsticks can be irresistible, but that's all right -- they're much healthier than the restaurant variety.

SESAME BREADSTICKS
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.

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.

Steps:
- Combine 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour and yeast in large bowl. Heat milk, honey and sesame oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat to 115&F., stirring occasionally. Remove saucepan from heat. Add milk mixture to dry ingredients. Stir in egg yolk, remaining 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, cracked wheat and salt.

Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, adding more all purpose flour if very sticky, about 10 minutes.
- Lightly oil large bowl. Add dough, turning to coat entire surface. Cover bowl with kitchen towel. Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 3/4 hours.

Pat each half into 1 1/2-inch-thick round. Place on prepared sheet. Cover and let rise in warm draft-free area until almost doubled, about 1 1/4 hours.
