Instructions for Emmer Breadsticks
This dish is a perfect side to almost any meal. They are versatile, but they are also so quick and easy to make, giving you more time to focus on the main dish.
To make these delicious emmer breadsticks, start by activating the yeast. Combine warm water, honey, and yeast, letting the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Once bubbly, mix in emmer flour, salt, and avocado oil. You can knead the dough by hand or use a stand mixer with a dough hook. The dough will be slightly sticky but will thicken as you knead.
Let the dough rest for 30 minutes under a cover, then divide it into two portions. Roll each portion into a rectangle on parchment paper, decorate with toppings of your choice, and cut the dough into strips. Bake at 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden brown.
And that’s it! Let them cool for about 5 minutes and enjoy!
