Making the dough
- Grease a bowl with oil & keep aside.

- Take one ball of dough & roll it into straight, thin stick using your hand.
- Now roll it in sesame seeds & lay on the cookie sheet.
- Repeat the same with rest of the dough balls.

- Bake them @350 degrees for 10mins or till they turn light brown.

Note
- I used instant yeast so there was no rising ceremony for it.
- If using active yeast follow the packaged instructions.
- I ended up having a little fat bread sticks after the bread rose.. So roll them little more thinner for sleek sticks.
- I haven't added any flavor to dough. Feel free to customize the dough.
- This recipe was perfect for two.
