    Ingredients

    • 1 cup all purpose flour
    • 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
    • ¼ teaspoon + ⅛ teaspoon salt
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
    • ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon ice cold water
    • 32 black sesame seeds for eyes
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Have a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
    • Whisk together first 5 ingredients (flour through salt) in a medium bowl. Add butter and mix with your fingertips until evenly mixed and looks like sand. Add ice cold water and mix with your hands to get a slightly smooth dough (add ½-1 teaspoon additional water if required). The dough should be firm, yet smooth. 
    • Divide dough into 16 equal pieces. Roll each piece with the palm of hands on the kitchen counter to get a 16-inch (approximately) long rope of even thickness.  Don’t bother if it breaks, just pinch it back together and proceed. 
    • Gently press one end of the rope flat, with a fingertip to get the shape of a snake’s head. Now, press two black sesame seeds into the face, to resemble eyes. (make sure, it sticks to the dough well).  Roll the other end thin, to resemble a tail. 
    • Roll the snake into a loose coil (refer pictures). Rolling the coil LOOSE ensures, the snake crisps up evenly while baking. (Don’t bother making perfect circles. Remember, snakes do not coil in perfect circles).
    • Gently transfer the snake with both hands, on to the prepared baking pan. Fix the coil again, if needed. 
    • Space them evenly apart. They do not expand while baking. 
    • Place pan in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown in color (rotate pan halfway through baking).
    • Place pan on a wire rack to cool completely. Serve snakes with a dipping sauce like marinara, sun dried tomato hummus or Sriracha ranch. 

    Notes

    Breadsticks can be stored at room temperature, in a covered container, for several days.

      They turned out so cute! The dough was easy to make and work with. I used mixed peppercorns for the eyes so some have red, glowing eyes and others have ghostly green eyes and some deep black. lol
