Buttery Breadsticks/Buns

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp instant yeast
• 3/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tsp baking soda
• Hemp nuts
• oats
• flax
• sunflower seeds (added after kneading)

Method:

• Stir flour with yeast, 1/4 tsp salt and sugar in the bowl of an electric stand mixer with paddle attachment, until combined.
•  Add 3/4 cup lukewarm water and beat on medium speed until mixed, about 5 min. 
• Remove dough from paddle and bowl. Lightly spray bowl with oil and return dough. Cover with a damp kitchen towel (not terry cloth) and let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Divide dough into 6 equal portions on a lightly floured counter. Cover with kitchen towel and let sit for 20 more min.
• Preheat oven to 475F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with oil. Roll each portion of dough into a 10-in. baguette-style stick. 
• Stir baking soda with 1/4 cup hot water. Generously brush dough with mixture, then sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tsp salt.
• Bake in centre of oven until golden, 8 to 10 min.
• I also make these into buns, very good!
