Cornmeal Sweet Potato Breadsticks

Total Time: 2 hrs Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 1 hr 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 12
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 1/2 teaspoons yeast (1 package)
• 2 cups flour
• 1 1/4 cups cornmeal
• 1 cup sweet potato, grated
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Recipe

• 1 sprinkle to yeast over the warm water in a large bowl. let stand 5-10 minutes, until foamy.
• 2 stir in remaining ingredients.
• 3 knead 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. (compared to traditional breadstick dough, this may feel oily, and won't develop such obvious gluten strands.).
• 4 cover and let rise about an hour, until doubled in bulk.
• 5 preheat over to 350°f.
• 6 roll dough into 8-10-inch-long sticks and place on a greased baking sheet. thinner sticks (pencil-sized) will be crunchier and have more of a caramelized taste. thicker sticks (finger-sized) will have distinct crust and bread textures.
• 7 bake about 10 minutes, until lightly browned.
