Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon Active dry yeast
  • 2 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Warm water
  • 2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil
  • 3/4 cup Water
  • 1/4 cup Minced fresh scallions
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (177ðC).
  2. 2
    In a small bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and 1/4 cup warm water. Set aside in a warm place until the mixture foams, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. 3
    In a large bowl or food processor, combine the flour, yeast mixture, olive oil, and 3/4 cup water.
  4. 4
    Mix until a dough forms, then add the minced scallions.
  5. 5
    Knead by hand on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, or pulse in the food processor 10 to 15 times, until the dough is smooth, springy, and the scallions are evenly distributed.
  6. 6
    Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1.5 to 2 hours.
  7. 7
    Punch the dough down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently a few times.
  8. 8
    Cut the dough into 12 to 16 equal pieces.
  9. 9
    Roll each piece into a stick approximately 12 inches long, moving from the center outward to ensure even shape.
  10. 10
    Place the sticks 1 inch apart on a baking sheet lightly sprinkled with cornmeal.
  11. 11
    Cover the baking sheet with a damp towel and let the sticks rise for 15 to 20 minutes.
  12. 12
    Brush the tops of the sticks with olive oil (or egg wash if not vegan) and sprinkle with coarse salt.
  13. 13
    Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until lightly browned and crisp.
  14. 14
    Cool on a wire rack before serving.

Note

For a vegan version, use olive oil instead of egg wash for brushing the tops.

Storage: Store cooled bread sticks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350ðF oven for 5-10 minutes to restore crispiness.

Variation: For cheese bread sticks, knead in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese along with or instead of the scallions.

The scallions may be omitted entirely to produce plain olive oil bread sticks.
