Sea-salt sticks

By Phillippa Cheifitz

Serves 8

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 25 minutes, plus 25 minutes’ standing time

Cooking Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

360 g stoneground white bread flour
1 t salt
1 x 10 g dry instant yeast sachet
1 cup warm water
2 T olive oil, plus extra for moistening
Sea salt, for sprinkling

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Place the flour and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the yeast, water and olive oil.

2. Mix to form a stiff dough, adding a little more water if necessary. Turn out onto a floured board and knead until smooth and elastic.

3. Moisten with olive oil and set aside to rise, covered, in a warm spot for 20 minutes or until slightly puffy. Knock down and knead lightly. Leave to rest, covered, for 5 minutes.

4. Give the dough a quick knead, then divide into 16 pieces. Shape each one into a long, thin stick, then roll in olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
