Bread Sticks and Fifteen Bean Soup
perfect for dipping!

It was February 1, 2011—the first day of the Big Freeze. Sunday it was 77, now it’s 18. Seems like a good time to make fifteen-bean soup. I’ve always liked dipping homemade bread into soups and stews, but there’s always the problem of sliced breads falling apart after you dunk them. What is needed are skinny breads with a soft crumb, but a very firm crust—homemade bread sticks! That shouldn’t be too hard to do…
Okay—so these aren’t really bread sticks—more like baguettes or batons. I just made them this sape for dipping into my soup! I started with the dough logs laid out on a baking sheet, then I figured they’d run together so I separated then by folding a piece of parchment, and that worked quite well.
