INGREDIENT NOTES:
DURUM WHEAT FLOUR:
- It gives beautiful color and a nutty taste to the recipe. Wheat flour provides a firm crust to the breadsticks and works well with the other ingredients. You may utilize fine semolina flour as per your preference.
BREAD FLOUR:
- This flour gives strength to the protein and holds the shape well during fermentation. Flour provides a chewier texture and makes the breadsticks lighter. Include all-purpose flour as a replacement of bread flour.
WATER:
- Water keeps the flour hydrated and makes the dough stretchy. You may use lukewarm water as another idea.
INSTANT YEAST:
- Instant yeast raises the dough and makes the air pockets. You may use active dry yeast as an alternative.
VEGAN TASTY CHEESE:
- Cheese gives a richer and savory taste in the recipe. This tasty cheese works well with the salty olives and sweet-tart sun-dried tomatoes. You may use vegan cheddar as another choice.

- First, mix durum flour, salt, water, olive oil, bread flour, & yeast in the large bowl.

- Stretch the dough and fold, then repeat the same step twice with 30 minutes between the sets.
