7 g Yeast -- Allinson Easy Bake
1 tsp Sea Salt
200 ml Warm Water
1 tbsp Olive Oil

A ficelle is a type of French bread loaf, made with yeast and similar
to a baguette but much thinner. The word ficelle literally means
"string" in French.
They are fantastic for dipping into olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Total: 2:15
Place the flour into the bowl of a freestanding mixer with the dough
hook attached. Put the yeast on one side and the salt on the other,
then add about 3/4 of the water and mix slowly. Alternatively mix by
hand in a mixing bowl.
When the dough starts to come together add the rest of the water and
mix for 6 to 8 minutes on a medium speed, until the dough is quite
wet and stretchy. Next add the olive oil and mix for a couple of
minutes. If mixing by hand, knead for about 10 minutes until stretchy.
Line two baking sheets with baking parchment.
Gently tip the dough onto a floured surface, and very carefully pat
the dough into a rectangle that's about 6-8cm deep. It's a good idea
to dust the top of the dough with flour as well as it makes it less
sticky and easier to shape.
Cut the dough into 8 strips, starting at the long edge. Stretch each
one out until they are about 20cm or as long as your baking sheet.
Lay the strips onto the baking sheets leaving gaps in between.
Lightly brush the tops with olive oil then sprinkle over some mixed herbs.
Place the trays into large clean plastic bags or cover with lightly
oiled cling film, and leave to prove for about 1/2 hour.
Preheat the oven to 230C (fan 210C, gas mark 8).
Bake in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, then bring out and leave to
cool before transferring onto a wire rack to cool completely.
