I saw the recipe for Spanish seed breadsticks – pipas while browsing the web, and although I made them my way, I have to say they are quite tasty and very enjoyable!
I left them softer, less thick, so they are not very crunchy, but the taste is simple, and dipped in sauce, they are irresistible!
Still on the topic of Spanish recipes, I share with you a collection of many recipes from this great nation:

INGREDIENTS FOR SPANISH SEED BREADSTICKS – PIPAS
#adv
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (I used 2/3 cup all-purpose flour and 1/3 cup bread flour)
- 2/3 cup water (I only added enough to create a soft but firm dough)
- 1/2 teaspoon dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Maldon salt (or 1 teaspoon fine salt to be added at the end, away from the yeast)
- 1/3 cup sunflower seeds (I used only 2 tablespoons as I wanted to taste it first…)

FOR PREPARING THE SPANISH SEED BREADSTICKS – PIPAS
I put the flours, sugar, and yeast in the bowl and mix well with a spoon.
I add the oil and, for me, only part of the water listed above to have a soft but firm mixture.
I mix and also add the sunflower seeds (or mixed if I prefer), well incorporating this dough, which I will let rest for about 1 and a half hours, covered with plastic wrap.
The recipe from which I took the quantities suggests putting the dough in a piping bag, but my dough, since I didn’t use all the water, was rollable with a rolling pin, so…
I rolled it out and cut it with a fluted wheel into many breadsticks about an inch wide, which I then placed nicely on a baking sheet, sprinkling them randomly with Maldon salt.
I then baked them in a preheated oven at 375°F, browning the pipas with seeds for 4/5 minutes and then turning them over to brown for another 2/3 minutes.
As mentioned above, I devoured them dipping (dunking) them in tuna sauce, but ketchup is also excellent if you prefer!
Very tasty indeed, the Spanish pipas easy breadsticks with sunflower seeds!
Enjoy your meal! Annalisa
