What are Kritsinia?

Kritsinia are crunchy breadsticks that are usually made with yeast. They’re sold in every bakery throughout Greece. They’re made using yeasted bread dough and baked to a crispy perfection.

This recipe is a quick version and doesn’t require any yeast. It’s also vegan and loaded with flavor.

I roll them in “Everything Bagel Seasoning” that I bought from the supermarket. If you can’t find it , I’ve included a recipe below.

Feel free to adjust the amounts to suit your taste:

• 1/4 cup sesame seeds

• 2 tablespoons granulated garlic powder

Toss all of the ingredients together and store them in an airtight container in a cool dry place.
