Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon barley malt
• 1 cup warm water
• 1¼ cups whole wheat flour
• 3 cups warm water
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup nutritional yeast
• ½ cup sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons caraway seeds
• 1 onion (for onion twists) 🧅

Instructions:

1. Prepare Dough:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine barley malt, 1 cup warm water, and whole wheat flour. Allow the mixture to stand for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.

2. Knead Dough:

   • Add the remaining 3 cups of warm water, salt, nutritional yeast, and caraway seeds to the bowl. Mix until the ingredients come together to form a dough.
   • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

3. Let Rise:

   • Lightly oil a bowl and place the dough in it, turning it to coat with oil. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise until it doubles in size, approximately 1 to 1½ hours.

4. Prepare Onion Twists (Variation): 🧅

   • If opting for the onion twist variation, finely chop 1 onion and sauté it in oil until translucent. Allow it to cool before incorporating it into the dough mixture. Twist each breadstick before baking.

5. Shape Breadsticks:

   • Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and divide it into 24 equal pieces.
   • Roll each piece into a stick approximately 8 inches long. If desired, roll them in sesame or caraway seeds for added flavor and texture.

6. Bake:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly oil a baking sheet.
   • Arrange the shaped breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each stick.
   • Cover the breadsticks with waxed paper and let them rise again for about 20-30 minutes.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then use tongs to flip the breadsticks over. Bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp.

7. Serve:

   • Once baked, transfer the breadsticks to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
   • Enjoy these homemade whole wheat breadsticks warm or at room temperature, either on their own or paired with your favorite dips or spreads.
