Crisp Rosemary Breadsticks Recipes

CHEESE AND ROSEMARY BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line 2 heavy large baking sheets with silicone baking sheets or parchment paper. In a food processor, chop the Parmesan, Gruyere and rosemary together until coarsely chopped. Set the cheese mixture aside. Separate the dough strips. Using a pizza cutter or a large sharp knife, cut each dough strip in half lengthwise to form thin strips. Working with dough strip at a time, coat each strip with the cheese mixture, pressing very gently. Twist each cheese covered dough strip and place onto prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle with the salt, if you wish.
• Bake until the breadsticks are golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the warm breadsticks to a basket and serve.

CRUSTY BREADSTICKS WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Place water in large bowl of electric mixer fitted with dough hook. Add yeast and pinch of sugar; stir to blend. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon salt and chopped rosemary; beat at medium speed until blended. Add 4 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, beating until well incorporated. Mix milk and oil in small bowl. With mixer running on low speed, gradually add milk mixture. Increase speed to medium; beat 6 minutes. Scrape dough from hook and sides of bowl (dough will be soft and sticky). Let dough rest in bowl 15 minutes.
• Sprinkle 2 heavy large baking sheets generously with cornmeal. Turn out dough onto floured surface and knead until soft and slightly sticky, adding more flour if necessary. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Let dough rest 10 minutes.
• Roll each dough piece between work surface and palms of hands to 12-inch long rope. Arrange 6 ropes on each baking sheet, spacing apart. Break small green clusters off rosemary sprigs. Insert stem end of rosemary clusters along top of breadsticks, spacing rosemary 2 inches apart. Using sprayer filled with cold water, lightly mist breadsticks. Let rise uncovered in warm draft-free area until puffy and light, about 30 minutes.
• Position 1 rack in lowest third of oven and 1 rack in center and preheat to 450°F. Brush breadsticks lightly with glaze. Sprinkle very lightly with coarse salt, if desired. Place baking sheets on racks in oven and spray oven with water. Bake 15 minutes, spraying oven with water every 5 minutes, spraying oven with water every 5 minutes. Continue baking without spraying until breadsticks are golden and sound hollow when tapped, about 15 minutes longer. Transfer breadsticks to racks; cool. (Can be made ahead. Wrap tightly in foil and freeze up to 2 weeks. Thaw breadsticks. If desired, rewarm wrapped sticks in 350°F oven 15 minutes.)

RICH ROSEMARY BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Place half the water in a large bowl. Stir in the yeast and the sugar. Allow to sit about 10 minutes, or until the yeast is bubbling. Add the remaining water, 2 tablespoons of the oil and the salt. Stir to combine. Begin to stir in the flour, 1 cup at a time. When it forms a dough, turn it onto a lightly floured board and knead in the remaining flour. Knead the dough for 8 minutes, then knead in the herbs and the pepper. Continue to knead for another 3 to 4 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
• Oil a large bowl, add the dough and turn to coat with the oil. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until doubled in bulk, 5 to 6 hours. Punch the dough down and divide it into 4 pieces. Roll out each piece into a 6-by-11-inch rectangle less than inch thick. Cut them into strips a little less than i inch wide.
• Oil the baking sheets and place the strips about inch apart. Brush lightly with oil and set aside for 1 hour to rise. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden. Cool on racks and serve.

ROSEMARY AND THYME BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Mix flour, salt and yeast in processor. Add rosemary, thyme, honey and oil. Gradually blend in enough water to bind dough together. Process until dough forms ball, about 30 seconds longer. Turn dough out onto work surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 2 minutes. Lightly oil large bowl. Add dough; turn to coat with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, then towel. Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Punch down dough. Divide into 16 equal pieces. Roll each dough piece between palms and work surface into 12-inch-long by 1/2-inch-wide rope. Arrange ropes on 2 heavy large baking sheets, spacing 1 inch apart. Let rise uncovered in warm draft-free area until almost doubled, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Bake until breadsticks are very crisp and pale golden, about 40 minutes. Transfer breadsticks to racks and cool. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.)
