Caraway Breadsticks
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon instant active dry yeast, like SAF
- 1 1/2 cups flour, plus more for kneading
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold butter, cut into chunks
- 1/2 cup milk, or as needed
- 1 small egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons caraway seeds, plus more as needed
- 2 tablespoons coarse sea salt, plus more as needed
- Combine the sugar, yeast, flour, and salt in a food processor; pulse once or twice.
- Add the butter and process until the butter is combined.
- With the machine running, add half the milk through the feed tube.
- Continue to add milk, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture forms a ball.
- Turn the dough onto a floured work surface and knead, adding a little flour as necessary, until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky, about 10 minutes.
- Let it rest for about 20 minutes.
- Cut the dough in half and roll out each piece into a long rectangle 5 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick.
- Cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips and lay them on a nonstick or lightly greased baking sheet, spaced at least 1/2 inch apart.
- Brush with the beaten egg and then sprinkle on the caraway seeds and coarse salt.
- Cover the breadsticks with a towel and let rise for 30 to 60 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400F.
- Bake the breadsticks until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
