Instructions
Make the Yeast
- Mix the instant yeast with the Malt Rice Syrup in a bowl and then add the warm water, then leave for 5 minutes until yeast activates
Create the Dough
- Once the yeast mixture is ready add the baking flour, spelt flour, tahini, water, salt, garlic powder, mixed herbs and yeast
- Stir the mixture together until it forms a loose dough. It won't take more than a few minutes!
- Once all the dough starts to lift away from the bowl use your hands to form the dough into a ball
- Cover the dough with a tea towel and let it sit from 1-4 hours.
- Once the dough has risen to approximately double it's size it's ready to make bread sticks. First, get that oven cranking at 200C/400F
- Get a baking tray and line it with non stick baking paper
- Using a bowl of water to wet your hands, break off small chunks of dough and work them into bread stick shapes and place them on the baking tray about a finger width apart until the tray is full.
- If you wish, now is a great time to coat the bread sticks with your choice of seed, salt, olive etc. You could also coat the sticks with some soy milk if you are looking for a shiny brown finish.
- When your tray is ready, pop it in the oven for 6 minutes
- After 6 minutes pull the sticks out and turn them over before returning to the oven for a further 6 minutes.
- At the end of 12 minutes take a look at your bread sticks and decide if they need a couple of minutes more to brown further.
- Serve with your favourite sides, dips, soups!

Can you use whole wheat flour in this recipe instead of white flour?
Yes, but they will be a little bit more dense.
