Why Make Breadsticks With Emmer? 

Emmer, also known as farro or farro medio in Italy, is a well-known cousin to Einkorn. Like Einkorn it is more genetically simple than modern wheat, making it easier for our bodies to digest. It’s also higher in important nutrients that aid our bodies in many important functions. Visit our blog to learn more about Emmer’s nutritional benefits. 

Not only is Emmer an incredibly healthy alternative for modern wheat, but it also brings incredible flavor and texture to many dishes. It can be used for all sorts of baked goods, but it is especially useful for high-hydration doughs and batter.

Ingredients for Emmer Breadsticks 

• Emmer berries, ground into flour – the base of the recipe, providing hearty texture and nutrition
• Salt – enhances flavor
• Yeast – helps the dough rise and creates a light, airy texture
• Honey – adds a touch of sweetness and helps activate the yeast
• Avocado oil – provides moisture and richness to the dough
• Warm water – activates the yeast and binds the ingredients

Instructions for Emmer Breadsticks

This dish is a perfect side to almost any meal. They are versatile, but they are also so quick and easy to make, giving you more time to focus on the main dish. 

To make these delicious emmer breadsticks, start by activating the yeast. Combine warm water, honey, and yeast, letting the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Once bubbly, mix in emmer flour, salt, and avocado oil. You can knead the dough by hand or use a stand mixer with a dough hook. The dough will be slightly sticky but will thicken as you knead.

Let the dough rest for 30 minutes under a cover, then divide it into two portions. Roll each portion into a rectangle on parchment paper, decorate with toppings of your choice, and cut the dough into strips. Bake at 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden brown.

And that’s it! Let them cool for about 5 minutes and enjoy!
