Serves 4-6

  • 2½ tsp quick rising yeast
  • 1¼ cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 cups white spelt flour

Topping:

  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1½ tbsp of dried Italian seasoning
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

Optional:

  • Dipping sauce (eg marinara)

  1. Put the warm water, brown sugar, and yeast in a large bowl, and let sit for about 10 minutes so the sugar feeds the yeast. It will look a little bit foamy on top.

  2. Add the spelt flour, salt, and water, and mix together. Knead the dough with your hands just a little bit until it is smooth and elastic. If it seems too wet, add a bit more spelt flour.

  3. Take a handful of dough, roll it into a log, and place it on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Stretch it out until it is about six inches long.

  4. Repeat with remaining dough. You should get about 8 breadsticks.

  5. Set aside to rise for one hour.

  6. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

  7. Mix the crushed garlic, Italian seasoning, and olive oil in a small bowl. Brush this mixture over the tops of the breadsticks.

  8. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.

  9. Enjoy with dipping sauce for dipping if desired.
