3 ingredients
10 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 lb loaf thawed frozen bread dough
  • 2 teaspoons cumin seeds (use 1 kind or several) or 2 teaspoons dill seeds (use 1 kind or several) or 2 teaspoons fennel seeds (use 1 kind or several) or 2 teaspoons sesame seeds (use 1 kind or several) or 2 teaspoons poppy seeds (use 1 kind or several)
  • 12 teaspoon coarse salt

Directions

  1. 1
    On a lightly floured board, roll dough into a 6 x 12-inch rectangle and sprinkle evenly with seeds and salt.
  2. 2
    Roll dough lightly to press seeds into dough, without changing shape of dough.
  3. 3
    Let stand until dough is slightly puffy, 5 to 10 minutes.
  4. 4
    Oil 2 or 3 baking sheets, each 12 x 15-inches.
  5. 5
    With a sharp, floured knife, cut dough into 6 x 1/2-inch strips.
  6. 6
    Pick up both ends of one strip, gently stretch until strip is about 15 inches long and transfer to a baking sheet.
  7. 7
    Repeat to stretch remaining breadsticks and fill baking sheets, placing strips about 1/2-inch apart.
  8. 8
    The sticks will not look all exactly the same as they're somewhat rustic looking.
  9. 9
    As each sheet is filled, bake in a 400 oven until breadsticks are browned and crisp, about 12 minutes.
  10. 10
    Transfer to racks to cool.
