Ingredients

  • 50 ml just-boiled water
  • 50 ml cold water
  • 1 ½ tsp fast action dried yeast
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • 200 g strong white flour, plus extra to dust
  • 1 medium egg, beaten

Instructions

  • Mix the just-boiled and cold water in a large mixing bowl and whisk in the yeast and salt. Add the flour and mix to form a fairly firm dough with a wooden spoon and then your hands. Turn the dough onto a very lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 30 evenly-sized pieces and roll them into very thin sausage shapes with your hands.
  • Place on 2 baking sheets lined with baking parchment and brush the breadsticks lightly with the beaten egg. Leave to rise for 45-60 minutes or until almost doubled in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 240C/Fan 220C/Gas 9. Bake the breadsticks in two batches for 15 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Leave to cool on the baking trays, then pack into airtight containers. Eat within 3 weeks.

Notes

Cook's tip

Sprinkle a few of your breadsticks with sesame or poppy seeds after brushing them with the beaten egg. One teaspoon of sesame seeds contains 18 calories and one teaspoon of poppy seeds contains 16 calories.

My latest book – PING! – is published today.⁠
⁠
It’s a collection of over 100 energy-saving, family-friendly recipes cooked using just a microwave oven. ⁠
⁠
It’s a bit of departure from my recent books, but one I hope you'll find useful – and perhaps intriguing too. There's something fascinating about cooking in the microwave and, even though I’ve been using them for many years, I was surprised by the huge variety of different - and very delicious - dishes that could be cooked successfully using microwave power alone. Everything from easy curries and 'casseroles', to lasagne, barbecue-style chicken, spicy rice, banoffee pie, sticky toffee pudding, rich chocolate brownie and lemon drizzle cake! ⁠
⁠
If you do fancy taking a peak at Ping!, you can find it in your local bookshop, online and via the link in my bio.⁠

For a healthy midweek meal, why not try a simple v For a healthy midweek meal, why not try a simple veggie bolognese? Taken from my slow cooker book, this one makes four really generous servings or six smaller portions. It freezes very well and can be used for a lasagne, pasta bake or base for veggie cottage pie. Perfect if you like to go meat-free or simply fancy a change.⁠
