Step-by-step method

At a glance

You're mixing up a simple dough, letting it rise for about 2 hours, then stretching and twisting it into breadsticks before baking until they're beautifully golden. The rewarding part is that homemade grissini come out crispy and full of flavor — nothing like the store-bought versions.

1/7

Make the dough

In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine all the dry ingredients, then slowly pour in the water and oil. Mix until the dough is smooth and elastic.

For this step

620 gram
All-purpose wheat flour

390 gram
Water

3 gram
Salt

30 milliliter
Olive Oil

10 gram
Dried Yeast
2/7

Let it rise

Cover the dough and let it rise for 1.5–2 hours.
3/7

Preheat the oven

Line baking sheets with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 220°C.

4/7

Shape the breadsticks

Divide the dough into 4 pieces, roll each one out and cut into strips. Twist and stretch the strips — basically roll them out — to the length of the baking sheet.
5/7

Arrange on the tray

Lay the breadsticks side by side, leaving a little space between them since they'll rise slightly more.
6/7

Bake

Before baking, brush them with a mixture of water and olive oil (a kitchen spray bottle works well if you have one) and sprinkle with salt. Bake until golden, about 20–25 minutes.

Tip

Serve them plain, or wrap each one in a slice of ham. They're also delicious dipped in homemade chili jam.
