Breadsticks

A great party treat, and so much better than the store bought.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling dough
  • 1 packets instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, more if needed
  • ½ cup cornmeal
  • Sea salt
  • Grated Parmesan
  1. Combine first five ingredients in food processor. Pulse to mix. Add olive oil and pulse. With machine running, add a cup or more of cold water, until a somewhat sticky ball forms.
  2. Put a little oil in a bowl and add dough mixture and form a ball. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise for an hour. Place covered bowl in fridge for several hours.
  3. Heat oven to 400. Grease two baking sheets with oil and sprinkle with cornmeal. Cut dough in quarters and keep three pieces covered while you roll a piece into an 18″ X 6″ rectangle. Slice off a 1″ X 6″ piece, and with floured hands, roll into a 12″ stick. Transfer to pan and continue with remaining dough.
  4. Brush sticks with oil and sprinkle with salt and Parmesan cheese. Bake 12 -15 minutes, or until crisp. Cool on racks. Serve immediately or store in airtight container.

Makes 72. Serve with any Taft Street wine. Especially good at a Wine Tasting!
