Cooking Time: 20 minutesPreperation Time: 1 hour 10 minutes

Preparation

In a mixing bowl, combine approximately 25 grams of wheat flour, 5 grams of olive oil or vegetable oil, a pinch of salt, and 1 gram of sugar. Mix these ingredients thoroughly.

Dough Making

Add approximately 0.5 grams of yeast to the mixture. Gradually pour in water while stirring continuously to form a soft, pliable dough. Ensure the dough is not too wet or dry, adjusting the amount of water as necessary.

Resting the Dough

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size. This process allows the yeast to activate, making the dough rise.

Shaping

Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit). Then, punch down the dough to remove air bubbles and divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a long, thin breadstick shape.

Baking

Place the shaped breadsticks on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. If desired, you can sprinkle them with additional seasonings or herbs for flavor. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
