GRISSINI ITALIAN BREADSTICKS

Light and crispy, grissini are an ideal appetizer or can be served with dinner.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 ½ lb wheat flour
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• ½ oz salt
• ¾ oz fresh yeast
• 1 ½ cups water
• durum wheat flour to taste

METHOD

Knead the mixture of wheat flour, extra-virgin olive oil, a little salt, yeast and water for at least half an hour.

Then divide the dough into the required number of pieces and allow to rest for a few minutes.

Make quite long rolls. Place them on a damp pastry board.

Flatten the rolls out with your hands and allow to rise.

Then cut out stripes of dough, place them on a layer of semolina then “stretch them” by hand at arms-length, so that they take on the typical shape of breadsticks.

Bake in a moderate oven (350°F) until cooked.
