ingredients
makes 16
2 cups All purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tbsp easy-blend dry yeast
1 tsp honey
1 tsp olive oil
2/3 cup warm water
6 halves sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, drained and chopped
1 tbsp skimmed milk
2 tsp poppy seeds
method
1. Place the flour, salt and yeast in a food processor. Add the honey and olive oil and, with the machine running, gradually pour in the water (you may not need it all as flours vary). Stop adding water as soon as the dough starts to cling together. Process for 1 minute more.
2. Turn out the dough on to a floured board and knead for 3 - 4 minutes until springy and smooth.
3. Knead in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Form into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl. Leave to rise for 5 minutes.
4. Preheat the oven to 150°C/300°F. Divide the dough into sixteen pieces and roll each piece into a 11 x 1/2 inch long stick. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and leave to rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.
5. Brush the sticks with milk and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake for 30 minutes. Leave to cool on a wire cooling rack.
