• Slowly pour in the warmed milk and mix using a fork to a stiff dough.

• Knead the bread dough with your hands to make a nice pliable dough.

• Cover the mixing bowl with cling film and leave bread dough to prove for 1 hour

• Knead the dough for five minutes then return to the bowl, cover and leave to prove for another hour.

• Roll dough into a large sheet approx 1 cm thick and then cut into 1cm wide strips – around 10cm long.

• Roll each strip between hands into a breadstick shape and put onto a lightly greased baking tray.
