Serves 8

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 45 mintues

Cooking Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

250 g Nutty Wheat flour
250 g cake flour
1 t bicarbonate of soda
1 t sea salt
4 garlic cloves, chopped
30 g cold butter, cubed, plus extra (melted) for brushing
2 cups buttermilk
1 bunch black seedless grapes
50 g walnuts
5 fresh rosemary sprigs

Method

Preheat the oven to 190°C.

Place all the dry ingredients in a bowl, then rub the garlic and butter into the dry ingredients using your fingertips. Once the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, add the buttermilk.

Cut the mixture using a butter knife while adding a little water (if necessary) to make a soft, thick dough.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle about ½ cm thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough into 3 cm-wide strips. Twist each strip to make a spiral shape and arrange on a greased baking tray.

Place the grapes, walnuts and rosemary sprigs in the gaps between the spirals of the breadsticks, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake for 35 minutes until golden.

“These are delicious with a blue cheese and rocket salad, or served with a cheeseboard.”
