Dry Ingredients:
1 bag (3-1/2 cups)
Pamela's Gluten-Free Bread Mix
2-1/4 tsp yeast (1 yeast packet enclosed in 19 oz bread mix bag only)
3 tbsp teff (the whole grain, not flour, not soaked)
Wet Ingredients:
Mix 1/4 cup oil
2 eggs plus enough water to make 2 cups liquid
Nuts and seeds:
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
2 tbsp flax seed
2 tbsp sunflower seeds
Optional: 4 tbsp favorite fresh herbs, like chives and oregano
Mix dry ingredients. In heavy duty stand mixer, incorporate wet ingredients with dry ingredients for 3 minutes using whisk attachment. Finally add nuts and seeds to incorporate.
Turn dough into a greased bowl and cover with moist cloth and let raise to almost double. Punch down with spatula and turn onto parchment that is heavily sprinkled with Pamela's Gluten-Free Bread Mix or rice flour. Roll into long tubes, using more Pamela's Gluten-Free Bread Mix or rice flour as necessary, and place on cookie sheets lined with fresh parchment paper. Let rest and raise slightly. Pre-heat to 375°. Immediately reduce temp to 350° and bake for 15 minutes. Brush with milk, sprinkle with sea salt, turn and bake 10 minutes more until lightly browned.
Bake longer for crispier bread sticks, omitting the milk wash.
These are great served with an Italian dipping sauce (simply mix 1/4 cup olive oil, a dash of fresh ground sea salt, a dash of pepper and red pepper flakes and a splash Balsamic vinegar (Optional: finely chopped herbs).
