Equipment

  • Grater

Ingredients
  

  • 120 g/4.23 oz grated carrots
  • 60 g/2.11 oz grated hard cheese Kefalotyri
  • 120 g/4.23 oz olive oil extra virgin
  • teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano Greek
  • 60 ml/¼ cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon honey/maple syrup
  • 300 g/10.58 oz Spelt flour or 1 to 1 gluten-free flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and oregano.
  • Make a well in the middle and pour the honey, water, vinegar, and olive oil.
  • Add the grated carrots and cheese. Stir to combine, then knead until the dough is elastic and all the ingredients are very well combined.
  • Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven at 180°C (350°F) and place parchment paper on a large baking tray.
  • Separate the dough into small balls of 25g (0.9oz).
  • Slightly dust a working surface with flour and roll each piece into a stick (log), about 16cm (6.3 inches) long. Transfer the breadsticks to the baking tray. Allow some space between each stick.
  • Bake until golden and crispy, for about 25 to 35 minutes.
  • When ready, transfer in cooling racks and let the breadsticks cool completely.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Allow the breadsticks to cool completely, and then store them in an airtight container or glass, and keep them for 5-7 days.
Serve them as a snack, appetizer, or alongside cheeseboards, soups, salad, and dips.
If the breadsticks are made gluten-free, it is easier to use a piping bag to shape them instead of rolling them into sticks.
Flour or oil your hands so that is easier to roll and give shape to the breadsticks.
Use a mixture of olive oil and sunflower oil for a lighter flavor and texture.
When the breadsticks come out of the oven they are still a little soft, but when they cool down they become crispy.
Different oven means different baking times. Start checking them after 25 minutes.
