Homemade Grissini (Italian Breadsticks)
These homemade Italian grissini are crisp, golden breadsticks that perfect for cheese boards, antipasti and aperitivo spreads.
Ingredients
- 1⅔ cups white bread flour plus extra for dusting
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- ½ cup whole milk warm
- 2 tbsp butter melted
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F; line large baking pan with parchment paper. Whisk flour, salt and yeast in large mixing bowl; add milk, butter and honey, and stir until you have a rough dough. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
- Divide dough into 25 pieces; roll into balls. Roll each on lightly floured surface into long grissini.
- Arrange on prepared pan and bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Repeat with remaining grissini. Let cool and enjoy immediately or store in resealable bag for up to 5 days.
Notes
Tip: Alternatively, knead the dough in a food processor or stand mixer fitted with a dough hook for 5 to 8 minutes.
