Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare the baguette dough according to the recipe instructions.
  2. Divide the dough in half and set aside one half for this recipe.
  3. Dust a work surface with flour and place the dough on it.
  4. Cover the dough with oiled plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature (75-77&# 194;°F) for 1 hour until soft.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the sesame seeds and poppy seeds.
  6. Pat the risen dough into an even 4 by 6 inch rectangle.
  7. Generously mist both sides of the dough with water using a plant sprayer.
  8. Press the seed mixture onto both sides of the dough, ensuring complete coverage with no bare spots.
  9. Brush both sides of the seeded dough lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt.
  10. Line two baking pans with parchment paper and lightly oil the paper.
  11. Stretch the dough rectangle slightly to make it longer.
  12. Using a dough cutter, cut the dough width-wise into twelve strips, approximately 1 inch wide.
  13. Lift each strip, stretch it slightly to about 8 inches long, and place it on the prepared baking sheets.
  14. Arrange the sticks on the baking sheets with about 1 inch of space between them.
  15. Let the breadsticks rise for 30 minutes until they become slightly puffy.
  16. Thirty minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
  17. Place a baking stone in the oven to preheat and position an empty water pan directly below the stone.
  18. Transfer the pan of breadsticks onto the preheated baking stone.
  19. Quickly pour 1 cup of very hot water into the water pan below and immediately close the oven door.
  20. After 1 minute, mist the breadsticks with water 6 to 8 times, then quickly close the oven door.
  21. Mist the breadsticks with water again after another minute.
  22. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (191°C).
  23. Continue baking for 8 to 12 minutes longer, until the sticks are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
  24. Optionally brush the hot breadsticks with a little more olive oil.
  25. Transfer the breadsticks to a wire rack and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Note

Storage: Store leftover breadsticks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 1 month.

Reheating: To restore crispiness, reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes.

Substitutions: You can substitute the baguette dough with any standard yeast bread dough. Try adding herbs like rosemary or oregano to the seed mixture for extra flavor.

Variations: For a different texture, try using sunflower seeds or flax seeds instead of or in addition to sesame and poppy seeds.

Tip: If you don't have a baking stone, you can bake the breadsticks directly on the inverted oven rack or a regular baking sheet.
