Cooking tip: Having a party? When planning your low carb spread, think about which dishes you can make in advance and which need fresh ingredients that day.
Ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Anise Seed
- 3 teaspoons Baking Powder (Sodium Aluminum Sulfate, Double Acting)
- 3/4 cup Whole Grain Soy Flour
- 2 teaspoons Orange Zest
- 3/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon Coarse Kosher Salt
Directions:
- Lightly coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray; set aside.
- Combine soy flour, baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 5 tablespoons olive oil, orange zest and 1½ teaspoons crushed anise seeds into a firm dough. Divide dough in half; roll each into a 16x8 inch rectangle. Fold the dough into quarters and transfer to prepared cookie sheet. Unfold and reshape, if needed. Cover with a sheet of oiled plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining dough. Let rise in a warm, draft-free place until almost doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
- Using a pizza wheel, cut each rectangle in half crosswise, then cut each half lengthwise into strips ¾ inches wide and 8 inches long. (You should have 48 strips. Roll each strip into a rope and place them ½ inch apart on an oiled baking sheet (bread sticks will stretch to 9 or 10 inches). Or, transfer the strips to the baking sheet and pinch ends to the center to form a pretzel, pressing ends for a crimped effect. You can also twist the strips (like cheese straws) and place on the sheet.
- Cover with oiled plastic wrap and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until almost doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
- Heat oven to 425°F. Coarsely crush the remaining ½ teaspoon anise seeds and place in a small dish with the coarse salt and pepper; set aside. Brush breadsticks with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with the salt mixture.
- Bake until golden and crispy, 13 to 14 minutes. Transfer to wire racks and cool completely. (Can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container up to 4 days.)
