Breads Recipes - Tomato Breadsticks

Ingredients

  • 225g/2 cups plain flour

  • 2.5ml/1/2 tsp salt

  • 7.5ml/1/2 tbsp easy-blend dried yeast

  • 5ml/1 tsp honey

  • 5ml/1 tsp olive oil

  • 150ml/2/3 cup warm water

  • 6 halves sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, drained and chopped

  • 15ml/1 tbsp milk

  • 10ml/2 tsp poppy seeds


Method:

  1. Place the flour, salt and yeast in a food processor. Add the honey and olive oil and, with the machine running, gradually pour in the water until the dough starts to cling together (you may not need all the water). Process for a further 1 minute.

  2. Turn out the dough on to a floured surface and knead for 3-4 minutes, until springy and smooth. Knead in the sun-dried tomatoes. Form into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl. Leave to rise for 5 minutes.

  3. Preheat the oven to 150C/300F/Gas 2. Divide the dough into 16 pieces and roll each piece into a 28 x 11cm/11 x 1/2in stick. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet and leave to rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.

  4. Brush the sticks with milk and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake for 30 minutes. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
