Servings 20 breadsticks
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 ⅓ Cup All-Purpose Flour
- ⅔ Cup Water
- ⅓ Tsp Dry Yeast
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 1 Tsp Olive Oil
Topping
- ¼ Cup Corse Sea Salt
- ¼ Cup Sesame seed
- ¼ Cup Dried minced Onion
- ¼ Cup Dried minced Onion
Instructions
- Knead the dough: Place the water, salt, all-purpose flour and dry yeast in the bowl of the mixer and knead at low speed for 1-2 minutes until the dough becomes consistent. Then add olive oil, increase to 2nd speed and continue kneading for 5-6 minutes.
- Dust a baking mat or work surface with flour, then transfer the dough from the bowl to the mat, Roll it into a cylinder shape, cover it with a napkin, and let it rise for 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough into small 7-ounce (20 grams) pieces, roll it out, cover it with a napkin, and let it rise for another 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the sesame seeds on a baking sheet or work surface. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 390 degrees Fahrenheit (200 Celsius). Fill a small bowl with water (this may be necessary to make it easier to cover the topping.)
- Shape and toppings: Take a ball, and gently roll it into a cylindrical shape roughly the size of the palm of a hand. Roll it in the sesame seeds and continue rolling it until it is about 7 inches in length (20 centimeters), making sure to coat it with the seeds (if necessary, wash rolls with water and coat with seeds). Then place it on the baking sheet.
- Repeat to make the other toppings. When done, cover the baking sheet with a napkin and let the dough rise for 10-15 minutes.
- Bake: Spray the grissini dough with water (not too much, just a bit), place it in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 390°F until golden brown.
