Breadsticks with Sunflower Seeds

This whole wheat breadsticks recipe is what we use to keep hunger at bay in our house! Instead of a bag of crisps, we’ll nibble on a wholegrain breadstick whilst watching TV, or whilst dinner cooks in the oven. They’re a healthy snack that satisfy my need to nibble, without ruining my appetite. I use them to help steer away from unhealthy treats whilst watching TV.

They’re also great to put on the table at a dinner party instead of bread rolls, or to go with a meze / antipasti-style meal. Wrap parma ham around the end for a tasty starter, or serve a dip or two to accompany the breadsticks - they go perfectly with my Spicy Feta Dip. Called “kritsinia” in Greek, they are a popular snack at all times of the day. They’re even enjoyed with a coffee at breakfast time. Similar to Italian grissini breadsticks, the kritsinia will be crunchy and biscuity, with that breadstick ‘snap’. If you prefer a crunchy exterior but soft inside, make your breadsticks thicker.

What is the purpose of the wine vinegar in the recipe? I am trying to learn cooking chemistry and understand the reasons for certain ingredients.

@Linda the acidity in the wine (or vinegar) helps to make the breadsticks crispier. 😊

Can I brush the breadsticks with egg white so the sunflowers seeds stick better? I wonder if the taste changes?

@Theodora I haven’t tried it myself, but I think it’s definitely possible! I don’t believe the egg white would change the flavor of the breadsticks. If you decide to give it a go, I’d love to know how it turns out! 😊
