Olive Oil And Fennel Bread Sticks

Ingredients

180 ml warm water
180 ml warm beer
375 gr dry yeast
180 ml olive oil
6 gr fennel seeds
4 gr salt
575 gr flour
1 egg
16 ml water
450 gr flour
12 balls

Instructions

piece into a long rope and place on greased baking sheets at least 3 cm apart. Brush with egg glaze.Bake immediately, 350 until golden about 30 minutes. Note: I also like to sprinkle on rosemary, anise or other seeds on the dough.Plus I make my bread sticks larger by dividing the dozen balls of dough in 2 or 3 pieces instead of 4. And I also like to brush on extra virgin olive oil instead of the egg wash over the breadsticks prior to baking them.then you have to turn them over during baking and brush more oil on them to brown the other side. I like the taste good olive oil gives! ----
