Ingredients

  • 500 g Wholemeal Flour
  • 30 cl Warm water
  • 7 gr Dry Yeast
  • 100 g Bacon chunks
  • 100 g Grated Cheese
  • 0,5 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Sugar

Instructions

  • Put the yeast in warm water in your stand mixer fitted with a knead hook, or knead by hands;
    Sift the flour, add the salt and sugar;
    Knead at the lowest speed for 15 minutes;
  • Stop kneading when the dough is set; it should be dry touch and not spring back;
  • Place the dough on a surface dusted with flour;
  • Cut the dough in halves;
  • Combine the bacon and 50g of grated cheese into a dough half;
    Do the same with the other half with grated cheese only;
  • Knead to incorporate evenly; shape a dough stick;
  • Cut each dough in four pieces;
  • Roll out each piece into a thin stick around 20 cm length; twist the dough stick on itself;
  • Cover with a dry kitchen cloth;
    Leave the dough rise for 1 hour and a half;
    The place should be warm and draught-free. Avoid a too hot room since it tends to develop a sour taste to the bread;
  • After proving, knock back the dough to expel the air and knead quickly;
  • Shape the sticks and place them onto a baking tray;
  • Cover again with a kitchen cloth and leave the dough sticks to rest for 30 minutes;
  • Preheat oven, 230°C; Add an ovenproof bowl of water at the bottom of the oven;
  • With a sharp knife, make slashes across the top of the dough;
  • Bake for 20/25 minutes, until well browned;
    Few minutes before the end of baking, you can top the breadsticks with grated cheese;
  • Take out of the oven, cover with a kitchen cloth to cool off;
  • Enjoy!
