BBD#30 olive, herb & parmesan breadsticks
The flavour of these breadsticks is very southern Mediterranean. I just love this breadsticks and if you serve them to your guests, they will love them, too. Promise! I'm always using herb de provence with lavender in it, because it gives such a wonderful flavour to the bread. And make sure, you use good quality olives like Kalamata. Belive me, it would make a big differents in the flavour, if you using cheap ones.
This recipe comes from my bread baking hero Richard Bertinet and his book "Dough".
I will send this post to "Living in the Kitchen with Puppies" who is the host of this month. The theme of this month is: Breads with a Twist.
Bread Baking Day is a monthly event handeld by Zorra.

You just need a simple, fundamental dough with four elements:
10 g yeast (fresh if possible)
500 g whole wheat spelt flour (original strong bread flour)
10 g salt
350 ml lukewarm water
mix flour with yeast and salt, add water and start to make a dough. Hold the bowl with one hand and with your other hand mix the ingredients around (or with a scraper) for 2-3 min. until the dough starts to form.
With a plastic scraper lift the doug out on your worksurface and start strechting and folding the dough to trap the air inside. You have to do this until you have a smoth and firm, non sticking dough.
Let rest the dough at least for one hour on a warm place.
Meanwhile start preparing the other ingredients:

100 g Kalamata Olives
50 g grated Parmesan cheese
5 g herb de provonce
Stone the olives and cut each one roughly. Mix cheese, olives and herbs in a bowl.
Now put out the dough, on a lightly with maize flour, dusted surface. Using your hands to flatten out the dough into a rectangle about 2 cm thick. Sprinkle with cheese and olive mixture and press into the dough with your fingertips.
Fold one third of the dough into the centre and press down with your fingertips. Then fold the opposite side over on top (as if you were folding an A4 letter to put into an envelope). Press with the palms of your hands to work the olives into the dough.
With the flat end of your scraper cut the dough widthways into 10-12 strips about 1 cm wide. Flour your work surface with maize flour. Twist each strip and roll them a little on the work surface so they strech to the length of your baking tray. Cover your tray with backing paper and put the breadsticks on top, leaving a good gap between each one.
Put aside and let rest for 30 min. covered with a kitchen towel.
Put into preheated oven. Mitst the inside with a water spray, then bake them for 10-12 min. until golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack.

What a lovely idea for this month bread baking day theme:
Combine all the dry ingredients together, add warm water and start mixing with a scraper. When everything comes together to a dough, start kneading with your hands. This will be a good workout.
Tangerine's Kitchen announced her edition of Bread Baking Day. Theme for this month is Bread Buns. I tryed to make this buns as healthy as possible (for Diabetes Typ II) based on a low GI. The principle here to understand is, that the more fibrous chunks there are in the bread (such as the larger, coarser grains of stoneground flour), the more work the body has to do to break down and access the starches. Therefore I used freshly stoneground spelt flour. More infos about 
Rohrnudeln auch Buchteln genannt, sind eine Spezialitaet aus dem Laenderdreieck Boehmen-Bayern-Oesterreich. Meist werden diese mit einer suessen Fuellung zubereitet und warm mit Vanillesosse gegessen. Diese Variante kann man warm und kalt geniessen zum Fruehstueck oder Nachmittags mit einer Tasse Kaffee. 

Es geht doch nichts ueber ein leckeres selbstgebackenes Brot. Noch bin ich auf der Anfaengerstrasse was das Brotbacken anbelangt, aber mit diesem Ergebnis kann man doch recht zufrieden sein, oder?
Vor kurzem gab es die Neuanschaffung einer Kuechenmaschine. Wie genau die Bezeichung fuer dieses Teil ist, weiss ich gar nicht, deshalb nenne ich es einfach mal: "Mach deine Sojamilch selber Maschine". Nun wurde also in diesem Haushalt soviel Sojamilch produziert, das ich schon gar nicht mehr wusste wohin damit. Deshalb gingen die Experimente los und den Anfang machte eine
This will be my first entry for the BBD challenge and I think it's a real great contest, especially the theme for this month. Instantly I asked some friends about Pan Latin0 and Silvina from Argentina came up with a traditional sweet bread from her home country. Normally you fry the bread in lard, but I used sunflower oil. Another tradition is, that people will have this type of bread always with mate tea. Hope you will like it as such as I did.
