Instructions
- Mix 2 tablespoons sugar with warm water until dissolved. Add yeast and let sit until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix together remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, flour, and salt in a large bowl. Combine sourdough starter and egg yolk in a separate bowl. Whisk egg white lightly in a small bowl and reserve in the refrigerator.
- Pour yeast and sourdough mixtures over flour mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon until dough starts to form. Turn out onto a work surface and knead into a smooth ball.
- Spray the inside of the bowl with cooking spray. Return dough to the bowl and cover with a cloth. Let rise for 1 hour.
- Punch down dough and divide into 12 portions. Roll out into small balls; shape into 3- to 4-inch-long sticks. Divide breadsticks between 2 greased or nonstick pans. Cover with cloths and let rest for 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove 1 pan at a time and brush tops with beaten egg white. Continue baking until medium brown, 5 to 10 minutes more.
