Very good snack. Kids came from the kindergarden and ate only these sticks till none was left. I had to hide some for photosession. I baked them already two times. The first time I rolled sticks in sesame seeds, but the next day I had joy cleaning all house with vacuum-cleaner from the seeds The next time I put sesame seeds inside the dough and it was more practical and the taste didn’t differ very much.

(20-22 sticks)

250 g flour

5 g dry active yeast

1/2 tsp. salt

2 tsps. paprika

175 ml warm water

25 g sesame seeds (if you want to roll sticks in sesame you gonna need 25 g sesame seeds more)

Sift the flour, salt and paprika. Put yeast, sesame seeds and water. Knead the dough and let rise for an hour in warm place. Then on the floured surface form from the dough 15 x 30 cm rectangular. Cut dough in about 1cm thickness sticks. If you want to roll sticks in the sesame, now you have to do it. Overwind the sticks and put on the floured (or lined with the baking paper) baking tray. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes. Bake in 220°C preheated oven for 8 minutes.
