These crunchy sesame sticks are a tasty snack that can accompany a scoop of ice cream, a cup of tea, or a bowl of soup. They are baked twice to achieve their crispness. The orange juice in the dough gives them a pleasant citrus flavor.

Transfer the baked sheet to a cutting board, and cut the bread into sticks of uniform size. Place the sticks on their side on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes at 300°. Turn over the sticks and bake for another 10 minutes. Allow the sesame sticks to dry completely in a warm oven.
