  2. Add the sachet of yeast in one side of your bowl and the salt in another.
  3. Measure the water into a measuring jug then slowly add it to your bowl. Mix everything together.
Knead your dough.
  1. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for ten minutes or use the dough hook of your mixer for five minutes.
Make the bread sticks.
  1. Divide the bread dough into 12 equal sized balls, then roll them into long sausages. Place them on the floured baking trays.
  2. Cover the baking trays with lightly oiled cling flim and leave them somewhere warm for around half an hour until they have risen slightly.
