BREADSTICKS (GRISSINI) RECIPE

• Using a mixer fitted with the dough hook, mix all ingredient on low speed until well combined, 2-3 minutes. Increase mixer speed to medium-low and mix for another 5 minutes. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let sit for one hour at room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 375F/190C. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Divide dough into 24 pieces, each weighing about 25g. Roll each piece into a log that is roughly 25cm long (or 30cm if you like them extra thin) and ½-1 cm wide, depending on how thick you want them. Keep in mind that they will expand during baking. Place on prepared baking sheets, allowing sufficient space between each stick. If you like, brush them with oil or water and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese or sesame seeds.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until light golden and crisp. While the first batch is baking, cover the other baking sheet with plastic wrap until it's ready to go into the oven.
• Allow breadsticks to completely cool on a wire rack. They will keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

GRISSINI BREADSTICKS- CRUNCHY ITALIAN BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm water whisking until dissolved. Let stand 5-10 minutes until foam appears in the center. Now stir in the olive oil -- it won't incorporate but that's okay. Add the honey.
• Whisk together the flours, salt ( instant yeast if you're using it instead of the active dry.)
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet. You can use the stand mixer with the dough hook or you can knead by hand. If kneading by hand you may need to use an additional 2 Tablespoons of flour.
• Continue kneading for 10 minutes - the dough should be smooth. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
• Shape and stretch the dough into a 14" x 4" rectangle by pressing dough down with one hand and pulling the end with the other hand. Press and stretch from the other end. Make sure the dough stays at a width of 4". Repeat the process until the dough is 14" in length.
• Brush the dough with olive oil and let it rest on your work surface. Cover the top and sides with plastic wrap. Let the dough proof for 1 hour at room temperature. The dough will be puffy and a finger will leave an imprint when you press into it.
• Preheat oven to 450 F.
• Remove plastic wrap from dough; brush with olive oil again.
• Cut dough into 4 equal parts. Work with one quarter dough at a time, covering remaining dough with plastic wrap.
• Sprinkle with topping of choice -- we chose Italian Seasoning. Make sure the topping covers completely to the edges. Lightly press the topping into the dough.
• Cut the quarter piece into 6 strips.
• Stretch and roll out the dough into 14-16" strips. The dough is very pliable and easy to work with.
• When you reach the proper length twist the strips. You twist the dough by simultaneously rolling one hand forward and one had back.
• Place the strips on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Bake 10-12 minutes until light brown. For even browning turn the sticks at 6 minutes.
• Cut and roll the next quarter of dough while these bake.
