What are grissini?

Grissini are thin, crisp Italian breadsticks, snapped by hand and served alongside antipasti, cured meats and cheese. This recipe makes about 24 from a single batch of dough.

Why did my breadsticks come out soft instead of crisp?

They were taken out too early. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, rotating the pan halfway, until they are deep golden and dry to the touch. If any still bend, return them to the oven for a few more minutes - they crisp further as they cool.

Do I need a stand mixer?

No. The dough is kneaded by hand for 5 to 7 minutes, until it is smooth, elastic and soft without being sticky.

How thin should I roll the dough?

Roll each half into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick, then cut it into long, thin strips with a pizza cutter or a sharp knife. Thinner strips bake up crisper.

How do I store grissini?

Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature. If they soften after a few days, three or four minutes in a 350°F (175°C) oven brings the snap back.

How can I flavour them?

Work rosemary or thyme into the dough, or sprinkle Parmesan or sesame seeds over the strips before baking. For antipasti, wrap the cooled breadsticks in prosciutto.
