Description

These Olive Oil & Fennel Bread Sticks are a delightful Mediterranean-inspired treat that brings rustic charm to any meal. The dough is enriched with warm beer for depth of flavor and high-quality olive oil for a tender crumb. Aromatic fennel seeds provide a subtle, licorice-like note that pairs beautifully with the richness of the oil. Golden brown and perfectly crisp on the outside, these sticks are incredibly versatile. They make an excellent appetizer for wine nights, a hearty side for soups and salads, or a delicious snack on their own. Simple to prepare with pantry staples, this recipe yields a generous batch of fresh, homemade bread that is sure to disappear quickly from your table.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Dissolve yeast in warm water and warm beer; let stand for 10 minutes until very foamy.
  2. Add olive oil, salt, and fennel seeds to the yeast mixture.
  3. Mix in 3 1/2 cups of flour.
  4. Knead dough until smooth and elastic, adding more flour as needed to prevent stickiness.
  5. Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down dough and divide into 12 balls, then divide each ball into 4 pieces.
  7. Roll each piece into a long rope and place on greased baking sheets at least 1 inch apart.
  8. Brush with egg glaze (1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water).
  9. Bake immediately at 350&# 194;°F (177ðC) until golden, about 30 minutes.
