Broomstick Breadsticks





Yields
Makes 10 breadsticks

Notes: If making up to 1 day ahead, cool, cover airtight, and store at room temperature. To reheat, lay breadsticks on a baking sheet or directly on rack in a 400° oven and bake until hot, about 5 minutes.

 2 loaves (1 lb. each) frozen bread dough, thawed to room temperature
 2 tablespoons black sesame or poppy seed
 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
Step 1

On a lightly floured board, pat or roll each loaf of dough into a 5- by 10-inch rectangle. With a floured knife, cut each rectangle lengthwise into 5 equal strips. From 1 end of each strip, with floured knife, make lengthwise cuts 1/4 inch apart, 1/3 of the length of the strip.

Twist uncut portion of each strip 3 to 5 times to make broom handle. Gently lift and transfer breadsticks to an oiled 12- by 15-inch baking sheet, laying them lengthwise and about 2 inches apart. Slightly separate the "straws" at the end of each stick, and twist and pull handles several more times to make each broom about 15 inches long.
