I am watching baseball, so I wanted a snack... feel a bit under the weather, so I made my snack antiviral. Breadsticks made with sourdough starter... 1 and 1/2 cups AP flour, 1/2 tsp salt, plus a dash, 1/2 cups sourdough starter/water, a teaspoon of oilive oil... knead 10 minutes. Let rise 2 hours, punch down, rise another hour, form a flat, rectangular loaf (like focaccia bread) rise another hour, bake at 400 until light brown. Drizzle or brush with olive oil into which raw garlic, oregano and basil have been crushed. Salt or sprinkle with parm. Dip into the sauce. Sauce: sweat down a medium onion, finely chopped in olive oil, then 3-5 cloves fresh chopped garlic, add salt, cook in the oil fresh, chopped oregano, basil, parsley and rosemary, crushed dried red pepper and black pepper. Add crushed tomatoes, a dash or red wine and simmer into a thick, rich, very aromatic sauce. A couple of gin and tonics, made with juniper, citrus and quinine just might do the job!
