Grissini

  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Cooking mode
  1. 1. In a large bowl, combine 180g of flour, yeast, salt, water and oil. Mix well.
  2. 2. Add the remaining flour and mix until the dough is smooth.
  3. 3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 15 minutes, until soft and stretchy. Pat into a flat rectangle. Fold along the longest side, folding the top third of the dough inwards, then overlap with the bottom third, to form a long rectangle. Cover with a damp tea towel and leave to rise for 1-1½ hours.
  4. 4. Preheat the oven to 200°C and prepare a large baking tray.
  5. 5. From the shorter side of the dough, cut into 30 equal strips. Roll each piece gently, starting from the center and pulling towards the ends until it is the length of the tray. Alternatively, twist two sticks together in a spiral. Place on the tray and repeat with the remaining dough pieces, spacing 2cm apart.
  6. 6. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until golden, turning the tray around in the last few minutes of baking. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
