Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 11

Cooking spray to grease cookie sheets
1 package regular or fast-acting dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
2/3 cup water
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
2 to 2 1/4 cups Gold Medal™ Better for Bread™ bread flour or Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt or sesame seed

Steps:

  • Spray cookie sheets with the cooking spray. In a large bowl, place the yeast. In a 1-quart saucepan, heat the water over medium heat until warm and an instant-read thermometer reads 105°F to 115°F. Pour water over yeast; stir until yeast is dissolved. Stir in the sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup oil and 1 cup of the flour. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. With a wooden spoon, stir in enough of the remaining flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, until dough is soft, leaves side of bowl and is easy to handle (dough maybe slightly sticky).
  • Sprinkle flour lightly on a countertop or large cutting board. Place dough on floured surface. Knead by folding dough toward you, then with the heels of your hands, pushing dough away from you with a short rocking motion. Move dough a quarter turn and repeat. Continue kneading about 5 minutes, sprinkling surface with more flour if dough starts to stick, until dough is smooth and springy. If dough is sticky, lightly flour your hands. Shape dough into a uniform roll that's 10 inches long. Cut roll crosswise into 32 equal parts. Roll each part into a pencil-like rope, 8 inches long for thick breadsticks or 10 inches long for thin breadsticks. Place 1 inch apart on cookie sheets. Brush with 2 tablespoons oil. Lightly spray sheets of plastic wrap with cooking spray; cover dough loosely with the plastic wrap, sprayed side down. Let rise in a warm place 20 minutes.
  • Place an egg separator over a small bowl. Crack open the egg, letting the yolk fall into the center of the separator and the egg white slip through the slots into the bowl. Cover and refrigerate egg yolk up to 4 days to use in another recipe.
  • Move the oven rack to the middle position of the oven. Heat the oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, beat the egg white and 1 tablespoon water slightly with a fork or wire whisk. Brush mixture over breadsticks, using a pastry brush; sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake 1 cookie sheet at a time 20 to 25 minutes or until breadsticks are golden brown. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Serve warm or cooled.

PUTTANESCA OR KALAMATA KWIK SAUCE



Puttanesca or Kalamata Kwik Sauce image

This is a great quick pasta sauce, full of flavor. Ladle onto short pasta with a generous spoonful of Pecorino Romano cheese. This is not intended to be a sauce that you smother the pasta in. If the fresh tomatoes aren't garden fresh and full of flavor I would consider omitting them from the recipe.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Make sure the water is lukewarm (around 110°F) and that you let the yeast sit in it for the recommended amount of time (usually 5-10 minutes). This will help the yeast activate and produce carbon dioxide, which is what will make your breadsticks light and airy.
  • Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten, which will give your breadsticks a chewy texture. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough to double in size, which is necessary for light and fluffy breadsticks. You can let the dough rise in a warm oven (turned off) or in a sunny spot on your counter.
  • Shape the dough into breadsticks: You can shape the dough into any shape you like, but breadsticks are traditionally long and thin. To shape the dough into breadsticks, roll it out into a long rectangle and then cut it into strips. You can also twist the breadsticks before baking them for a more decorative look.
  • Bake the breadsticks until they are golden brown: The baking time will vary depending on the size and shape of your breadsticks, but they are generally done when they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them so that they don't overcook.

Conclusion:

Kalmata olive breadstick twists with marinara sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or gatherings, and they can also be enjoyed as a quick and easy meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create these delicious breadsticks that are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So what are you waiting for?
