Crystal breadsticks with olive oil

Preparation

1. We pour the water into a jug and weigh it on the Thermomix glass. We booked.

2. Put the flour and yeast in the glass and mix 15 seconds, speed 4.

3. Add 60 g of the reserved water and mix 1 minute speed 4.

4. We now add another 60 g of the reserved water and program knead function, 4 minutes.

5. We remove the beaker and program knead function, 10 minutes. While it is being kneaded, we are adding little by little tablespoons of the remaining water every 30 seconds, until we finish all the water that is reserved for us.

6. Add the salt and sesame (optional) and we knead 1 more minute. 

7. Add 20 g of extra virgin olive oil and program 1 minute, speed 4.

8. We prepare a tupperware or a plastic container of approximately 30x20x8 cm and place it on the lid of the thermomix.

   We weigh 20 g of oil and spread that oil well over all the walls of the tupperware. Pour the dough inside, place the tupperware lid and Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.

9. Folds – important that it is at a warm room temperature (about 21-25º)

   Inside the same container and, with hands moistened with water or oil, we stretch one of the edges of the dough and fold it on itself. We stretch the opposite edge and fold it over the dough. We rotate the container 90º and repeat the folds with the remaining edges as we have done before.

   Cover and let stand at room temperature for 40 minutes.

   Repeat folding, cover and let rest for 40 minutes. Re-fold the dough, cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

   *if it is very cold in your kitchen, you can turn on the oven for 1 minute at 50º, turn it off and place the tupperware inside the turned off oven while you make the rest. So it will be in a warm place.

10. We preheat the oven to 240º.

    We also prepare two oven trays with baking paper. (If we only have one, we place the baking paper on the work surface and then transfer it to the baking tray).

11. Dust the work surface with plenty of flour. We dumped the dough that we had in the tupperware directly on the surface.

    Dust the surface of the dough with flour and give it a rectangular shape without crushing it (it is important not to crush it because it is full of air bubbles on the inside!!).

    With the scraper or with a knife we ​​cut strips of 1 cm.

    We take each breadstick by the ends, stretching slightly to adjust it to the size we want, and we place them on the baking paper of the trays, leaving space between them (we will place approximately 10 breadsticks per tray).

12. Bake in batches for 15-20 minutes (240°C). They have to be well cooked.

    Remove from the oven, let cool and enjoy!
