GREEK CARROT BREADSTICKS WITH SESAME SEEDS

• Add the flours, baking powder, salt, paprika and turmeric to the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk until incorporated.
• Peel and grate the carrots and add them to the dry ingredients. Stir to distribute evenly.
• Add the wine, olive oil and sunflower oil to the dry ingredients. Using a dough hook, mix all the ingredients on low speed until the mixture comes together to form a ball. Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes. The dough should feel lightly oily and be very easy to handle.
• Preheat the oven to 360°F.
• Divide the dough into quarters. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on a baking sheet and set it aside.
• Working with one of the four quarters of dough at a time, take a small piece of dough, about the size of a walnut, and roll it on a clean surface to form a rope about 10" long. Once each quarter of the dough is rolled into about 10 ropes, pick up each one and re-roll it gently on the sheet pan with the sesame seeds.
• Place the sticks on two parchment paper-lined sheet pans and bake for 25 minutes, or, until the bottoms of the breadsticks are lightly brown. Move to a rack and let them cool!
