Description

Experience the delightful combination of rosemary and kalamata olives in these no-knead breadsticks, perfect for a savory snack or side.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 10 ounces all-purpose flour (about 2 cups)
  • 3 1/2 ounces whole wheat flour (about 3/4 cup)
  • 1 1/2 ounces rye flour (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon yeast
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1/3 cup kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1/4 cup beer
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, rye flour, salt, and yeast.
  2. Stir in the chopped rosemary and kalamata olives until evenly distributed.
  3. In a small mixing bowl or liquid measuring cup, mix together the water, beer, and apple cider vinegar.
  4. Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a wet dough forms.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 12-18 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size and is bubbly.
  6. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a steam tray or an empty baking dish on the bottom rack of the oven.
  7. Gently shape the dough into a log or stick shapes and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Pour about 1 cup of hot water into the steam tray to create steam in the oven.
  9. Bake the breadsticks for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and have a crisp crust.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

For best results, use weighted measurements to ensure the correct flour to water ratio. The dough is quite wet, which helps create a chewy texture. Plan ahead as the dough needs to rest overnight. Store leftover breadsticks in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to restore crispness.
