Rustic Italian loaf from Canadian living breads and pizzas

This has a very wet dough and due to this I use the bread machine on the dough cycle, stopping the cycle just before it kneads the dough down. After this it’s fairly easy (use lots of flour on work surface)... read more >

Green olive sticks

These bread sticks tasted great! I made half the recipe in my mini stand mixer (half recipe with 500 g flour makes enough to serve at least 6-8 people). A mixer is a good idea for these since the dough is very wet. I added an extra 1/4 cup of flour to the dough and used the olives plus a few sun dried tomatoes as well. It's important to oil the proofing container very well before the rise, and to use lots of flour when cutting the sticks. Baked at 425 convection for 15 minutes. Don't be alarmed if you make these; the dough will be very wet and will basically flow everywhere. Just stretch them out and bake. Since they only need one rise, they don't take long to make, about 2 hours from start to finish. I wouldn't make a full recipe of these as half yielded lots and they are best served fresh.
