Salt sticks

Ingredients:

40g butter

0,5 dl of milk

10g fresh yeast

1,5 dl plain flour

2 eggs

"Finger" Salt flakes

Method:

Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the milk and wait until the liquid reaches tepid (37°C). Whisk in the yeast.

In a bowl, combine the flour, 1 egg and the butter/milk. Kneed the dough for 3 minutes and then leave covered to rise for 20 minutes.

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C

Roll the dough out to a 30cm x 10 cm sheet. Cut 30, 10cm x 1 cm strips and lay them out on a parchment lined baking tray, making sure they don't touch each other. Cover with a tea-towel and leave to rise for 15 minutes.

Whisk the remaining egg, brush the sticks with the egg and sprinkle liberally with finger salt flakes.

Bake for 8 minutes, until they are golden brown.

Once cooled, store in an air-tight container for up to two weeks.
