Olive breadsticks / mini-baguettes

 

Recipe originally from Paul Hollywood and the Great British Bake-off (or something like that)

Bread Flour 1000g
Water 750g
Yeast 18g
Salt 18g
Olive oil 40g

My version of this recipe using 1 kg of flour makes about 18-20 pieces



Mix the ingredients in a mixer with dough hook(s). Add 300g olives at the end.


Let rise 60-90 minutes in 2 separate rectangular plastic containers because it's too much for one and you want it shallow, not deep like for a bread loaf.


Dough out of the pan onto floured counter



Spread carefully into a rectangle shape using fingers and/or a bench scraper



Cut into strips to fit the pan. These are a bit fat but I wasn't trying to make them as thin as possible because then they can break - one or two per person is okay.



Here are some skinny ones from a previous batch:


Fancy display for the table is not my MO - these are for an outdoor wine tasting.


Bake 425° F for about 18-20 minutes. I swap the racks at 10 minutes so the tops brown more evenly.



Remove and cool on a rack. Serve with some red wine, olive oil, butter, etc.(I do dust off the extra flour or it gets all over the kitchen)



PS I had some extra dough so I made a mini-loaf of bread:




Thanks for reading!
