Equipment
- A large mixing bowl
- A rolling pin
- A baking tray
- A pastry brush
Ingredients
- 250 g wheat flour
- 100 ml warm water
- 5 g dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons dry oregano
- 50 g grated cheese
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Combine the wheat flour, salt, and dry yeast in a large mixing bowl.
- Pour in the warm water, olive oil, dry oregano, and grated cheese, then knead until soft and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the rested dough thinly and cut it into fine strips, then twist each strip gently.
- Place the shaped grissini on a baking tray, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle extra oregano.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Notes
Knead the dough just enough to develop gluten. Avoid over-kneading to keep the grissini tender. Freshly grated cheese yields better flavor and melting. Space the grissini out on the baking tray to ensure even crispiness. Serve grissini in a tall glass jar or arranged in a fan shape on a platter with colorful dips for extra appeal. Consider variations such as using whole wheat flour, nutritional yeast for a vegan option, or adding spices like chili flakes for an extra kick. Storage in an airtight container keeps them fresh for up to a week at room temperature. Consider freezing leftovers for longer shelf life.
