Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Put the yeast in a small bowl and add the warm water; stir gently. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Pour the yeast and water into the center of the well. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the oil. Start drawing the flour from the inside of the well and mix until the dough comes together. Turn the dough out of the bowl onto a lightly floured surface. Add the sage and continue to knead the dough until it is smooth and silky, about 5 to 7 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    First rise: On a well-floured surface, pat the dough with your hands into a 4-by-14-inch rectangle. Lightly brush the top with some of the remaining olive oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

  4. Step 4

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  5. Step 5

    Shaping: Sprinkle the dough with the cornmeal. Cut the rectangle crosswise into 4 equal sections, then cut each section crosswise again into 5 strips, each about the width of a fat finger. The dough should be so elastic that you can simply pick up each piece and stretch it between your hands to a length of 10 inches. Place the breadsticks a few inches apart on lightly oiled baking sheets. Bake for 20 minutes.
