If the dough is too sticky add extra flour one tablespoon at a time, if too dry add more water one tablespoon at a time until it is right consistency.
• Continue processing dough for 40 seconds until dough is smooth and elastic.
• Knead on floured board for 1 minute.
• Transfer dough to oiled bowl, turning to cover all surfaces. Cover and let dough rise for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 450-degrees F.
• Coast baking sheet with olive oil.
• Roll small pieces (about the size of a walnut) into 10-inch sticks. Arrange on baking sheet, spacing one inch apart.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes or until brown.

BAKED FISH STICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Salt and pepper the fish sticks. Place the flour on a rimmed plate and season with the garlic, mixing with a fork, and set aside.
• Place the bread and herbs (if using) in a food processor and pulse until uniform, but not too small. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a shallow baking dish or rimmed plate and set aside.
• Whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon water in a medium bowl. Dredge a piece of fish in the flour, gently shake off excess, and then dip the fish in the egg mixture, then the breadcrumbs, gently pressing into the crumbs. Repeat with the remaining pieces of fish.
• Place a metal cooling rack on top of a baking sheet, and mist with olive oil. Place the fish sticks on the rack and bake until the fish is cooked through, about 12 minutes. (For even browning, you can turn the fish over halfway through cooking time and spray the second side with olive oil.)
