Bread sticks Snakes
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You can use not only white wheat flour, but also whole-grain and gluten-free flour. For the topping, use just one ingredient; flax seeds, coarsely chopped nuts, or sunflower seeds also work well. Be sure to make these snake-shaped breadsticks for your New Year's table — a symbol of the upcoming Year of the Snake 2025. Serve them cooled or slightly warm.
