Garlic Breadsticks
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Garlic not only captivates with its "beguiling" scent, but can also score health points with the essential oil allicin responsible for it: It keeps the cardiovascular system fit and can positively influence the intestinal flora.
You can serve the garlic breadsticks with normal butter or homemade herb butter.
Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 1 cube Yeast (42 grams)
- 175 milliliters olive oil
- 2 tsps fine Sea salt
- 2 Tbsps honey
- 1 kilogram Pastry flour
- Pastry flour (for the work surface)
- 4 fresh garlic cloves
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 60 grams grated Cheese (such as Emmentaler)
Preparation steps
Bring all ingredients to room temperature.
Crumble yeast in a bowl and mix with about 600 ml (approximately 20 ounces) of lukewarm water. Add 80 ml (approximately 3 ounces) oil and honey, mix until yeast has dissolved and season with salt. Pour flour into a bowl and create a well in the center. Pour yeast mixture into the well and knead into a firm dough. Place bread dough on a floured work surface and knead until dough is smooth. If needed add more flour so dough is no longer sticky. Place bread dough in a bowl, cover and let rest for about 45 minutes in a warm place.
Peel garlic and chop finely. Rinse rosemary, shake dry, pluck and finely chop. Mix garlic in a bowl with rosemary and 4 tablespoons olive oil.
Preheat the oven to 220°C (approximately 425°F).
Knead bread dough on a floured work surface and cut into quarters. Shape each portion into a long strand and press slightly flat. Brush each breadstick with garlic oil. Place breadsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with remaining oil and sprinkle with cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
