  • About

These thin, hand-rolled bread sticks with sea salt and thyme are originally a specialty from the Piedmont region in northern Italy, but in the USA they are often served as nibbles instead of crisps. Baking them with steam makes them particularly crispy.

Ingredients

  • 190 g ( oz) spelt flour
  • 1 tsp dried yeast

Method

Combine the flour, yeast, sugar, thyme and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the egg white, olive oil and water and knead everything for several minutes to make a smooth, pliable dough. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and leave the dough to rise for about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas mark 6)
