ABOUT Grissini RECIPE

A really simple recipe made with a simple pizza dough, which will take 90 seconds to make in a food processor or with about 8-10 minutes of kneading by hand. The recipe uses water at room temperature and less yeast for a slower rise, meaning better flavor. You could get creative with the toppings and make a variety of these.

Instructions

Sift the flour, yeast, and salt to make sure the salt is evenly distributed.
Add the water and oil, mix till the dough comes together.
Knead on a lightly floured surface till smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes
Place the dough in a lightly oiled container or dough rising bucket. Cover the container and let it rest at room temperature for an hour or so.
While the dough rises, prepare your baking sheets, line them with parchment. Keep the toppings, some oil, a silicon brush and a pizza cutter ready.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C / 350F.Divide the dough into two equal pieces. Take one piece of dough, keep the other covered.
On a floured counter, roll the dough out into a rectangle to suit the size of your baking tray. I have rolled the dough about 3-4 mm thick, rectangle about 10''
Using a pizza cutter, cut the rolled dough into strips of equal width. Remove each strip, place slightly apart. Fold each strip over itself
On an unfloured surface, roll the strip into a long snake, try to keep the thickness uniform again.
Place the snakes evenly spaced across the width of the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Lightly spray or brush the grissini with olive oil and sprinkle on the topping.
Bake at 350F for 25 – 30 minutes, until light golden brown. Do not let them brown too much.
Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
Serve them as is or with your favorite olive oil dip or even marinara sauce.
