What is Sesame and herb breadstick?
A Sesame and herb breadstick is a slim, crisp savoury bake made from dough, usually with sesame, nigella seeds and herbs scattered through or over it. It is a Turkish-style take on the familiar breadstick, sold by bakeries and shops as well as made at home; there is no single regional origin to it.
In Turkey, these crunchy sticks are commonly set out with tea, alongside cheese and olives at breakfast, or served with soup. Their dry snap and toasted, seed-rich flavour make them easy to nibble, though the flour-based recipe is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with some fat and protein from the seeds. For a lighter snack, keep to a small handful and pair them with fresh vegetables or a yoghurt dip.
