How to Make Abm Italian Breadsticks Grissini

  1. Add 1 cup (240ml) warm water and 2 tablespoons olive oil to your bread machine pan. Sprinkle 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour over the water, ensuring the water is completely covered. (If your bread machine instructions specify adding yeast first, reverse steps 1 and 2.)
  2. Add 1 teaspoon salt to one corner of the pan. Make a small well in the flour and add 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast.
  3. Select the basic dough setting on your bread machine and press start.
  4. Lightly oil two or more baking sheets.
  5. Once the dough cycle is complete, carefully remove the dough from the machine and gently knead it on a lightly floured surface for a minute or two.
  6. Roll the dough into a 9x8 inch rectangle.
  7. Cut the rectangle into three 8-inch long strips. Then, cut each strip widthwise into ten pieces.
  8. Roll and stretch each piece to approximately 12 inches for a crispier grissini. For a chewier texture, make them shorter and thicker.
  9. If using poppy seeds or salt, sprinkle some onto your work surface and roll the dough pieces in them. Do this about halfway through the rolling process for best adhesion.
  10. Use salt sparingly; it's easy to overdo it!
  11. Arrange the grissini on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each. Brush lightly with olive oil, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 10-15 minutes.
  12. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  13. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown, turning the baking sheets halfway through.
  14. Transfer the grissini to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
