👨‍🍳 Method

For the Dough base

  1. 1
    Mix the flour, yeast and salt in a large bowl.
    Bowl
  2. 2
    Add the lukewarm water and olive oil and Knead about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth, pliable and doesn't stick to your hands.
    ⚙ KneadingBowlStand mixer
    💡For yeast dough, use the windowpane test: a small piece stretches into a thin, translucent sheet without tearing, and that's the sign the kneading is done. Add flour only by the tablespoon, and only if the dough is still sticky after a few minutes: too much flour makes a tough dough.
  3. 3
    Cover and Let rise about an hour in a warm place, until the dough doubles in size.
    ⚙ ProofingPlastic wraporKitchen towel
    💡Let rise in a warm, draft-free spot. The dough is ready when it has doubled, and a gentle finger press leaves a dent that fills back slowly; if it springs right back, wait longer.
  4. 4
    Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  5. 5
    Divide the dough into pieces and roll each piece into a thin stick.

  6. 6
    Arrange the sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
