Bread Sticks

Summer holidays mean hungry kids who want something interesting 10 times a day. These bread sticks make quite a lovely snack with some cheesy dip or tomato salsa.

The recipe has been adapted from King Arthur Flour’s blog. It has some really amazing bread recipes.

Did I tell you this recipe does not require kneading and you just need to let it rise once.

Recipe

INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup Lukewarm water

1 and 1/2 tbsps Olive oil

3/4 tsp Salt

1/2 tbsp  Instant yeast

1 and 3/4 cups All purpose flour

2 tsps  Pizza seasoning

Dried herbs and pizza seasoning to sprinkle on top

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Grease and line a 9 inch by 6.5 inch sheet tin [ you can also use a brownie tray ].
  2. Mix all the ingredients together [except the ones to be sprinkled on top ].
  3. Scoop the sticky batter into the prepared tray.
  4. Grease your palms and spread the batter evenly .
  5. With a sharp knife score 1 inch wide strips [score lengthwise].
  6. Score another line horizontally to divide the strips into halves. [You will get 10-12 bread sticks using the above recipe]
  7. Cover with a cling film and set aside for 1 hour.
  8. Pre heat the oven at 180 C for 10 minutes [You can do this 10-15 minutes prior to baking].
  9. After an hour brush the top lightly with olive oil and sprinkle the seasoning and dried herbs.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven at 180 C for 25 minutes or until the top turns a light golden brown.
  11. You may brush the top with butter to make the bread sticks buttery and soft.
  12. Carefully transfer the flat bread onto a wire rack. Wait for 10-15 minutes for the bread to cool down a bit.
  13. Use sharp knife to cut across the scored lines and your gorgeous bread sticks are ready to be served.
  14. You can store these in an air tight container once completely cooled. Place them for a couple of minutes in a warm oven before serving.

 


RECIPE NOTES

  • Oven temperature and time may vary. Bake until the top looks a light golden brown.
  • These taste best when served warm and fresh out of the oven.
  •  I used a combination of herbs like oregano, basil, parsley etc. You can choose to add any flavours to suit your taste buds.

 Happy Baking!

Whole Wheat Chocolate Banana Loaf Cake

A moist whole wheat chocolate banana loaf cake. This eggfree banana cake flavoured with a dash of cinnamon is perfect as a tea time snack. It is another special day. My youngest son’s first birthday. I wanted Adbhut’s first ever cake to be something he would enjoy. Here’s something with his favourite fruit. I am super happy about how this whole wheat chocolate banana loaf cake turned out. It is simple, healthy and flavourful at the same time. My home smells all warm and ‘cinnamony’. It is often thought that whole wheat bakes are dense or taste ‘aata -like’. Try this. Its soft, moist and unless you tell its wholewheat no one would guess it. Recipe Cook Time            45 minutes Servings                1 loaf INGREDIENTS 1 and 1/2 cups whole wheat flour 1 and 1/2 tsps baking powder 2 tbsps Cocoa powder 1 tsp Cinnamon powder {optional} 1/4 tsp salt 2 Ripe bananas { medium size} 3/4 cup + 1/4 cup milk 1/2 cup cane sugar 1/2 cup Oil 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2

Mom’s Eggless Cake

  I have had this cake since I was 5. Mom would use the little round oven and we would keep peeking into the glass top to see the cake rising. The whole house would smell deliciously warm and I don’t think we ever waited for the cake to cool down, those warm slices would disappear within minutes. Everyone remembers their first bake. Mom’s recipe introduced me into the beautiful world of baking. This is and will always be my favourite recipe. This is perfect for beginners [I baked it when I was 14 and my almost 9 year old did it brilliantly 2 weeks back]. Can’t get simpler than this now, can it? Recipe    INGREDIENTS 2 cups All purpose flour 3/4 tsp Baking soda 1 cup Milk 1/2 cup   Oil 3/4 cup Sugar 1 tsp Vanilla essence INSTRUCTIONS Pre heat the oven at 180 C for 10 minutes. Beat the milk, sugar, oil and vanilla essence together till it turns into a white creamy mix. [or you can simply put all the ingredients in an electric mixer and give it a few whips] Sieve
