Ингредиенты
- 1/2 c. hot water
- 5 1/2 c. bread flour

- 1 Tbsp. extra virgin extra virgin olive oil
Инструкции
- Dissolve yeast in small bowl - 15 min. Place flour in large bowl, stir in salt and add in yeast, cold water and biga. Mix.
- Knead while turning bowl. Fold from side of bowl to center vigorously. Slap dough back into bowl. and knead till dough comes away from sides cleanly. Knead on surface about 20 min on and off. Return to bowl. Form well in center and break butter into small pcs adding it to well along with extra virgin olive oil. Gently knead till thoroughly incorporated. Dough will come apart, but will come together again. Shape into ball. Place in oiled covered bowl and let rise. about 1 hour.
- Turn onto well floured surface. With fingertips press out most of air while forming into 9" x 6" rectangle. Fold about 1/2" of farthest edge toward you like wrapping silverware in napkin. Introduce some tension so which roll is tight and try not to extend length. It will be a fat roll - about 6" in diameter - when done. When you reach edge nearest you, seal edge with heel of hand.
- Rub extra virgin olive oil on section of work area about 1 1/2 times the size of the roll. Place roll here, cover and let rise about one hour. Preheat oven 425.
- Have 2 baking sheets ready. Uncover dough roll and brush it all over with oil. Using sharp serated knife, cut dough crosswise into 1/4" wide pcs, pulling each piece gently away from roll as you cut it. Cut several pcs at a time and then form them into bread sticks. With one hand, grasp top and other the bottom of each piece. Pick it up and gently move hands outward and parallel. The dough will begin to stretch easily once it is lifted from surface. Stretch to about 12" in length and place cross\wise on baking sheet. Mist generously, and place in oven. Bake 5 min and then mist again. Bake about 20-25 min.
- NOTES : Tried this the first time for Thanksgiving and they were excellent. They were even better two days later when they were overheated in the oven and developed a great hard crust and a nice chewy interior.
