How to Make Grissini

  1. **Activate Yeast:** In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. **Combine Dry Ingredients:** In a large bowl, whisk together flour, Parmesan cheese, rosemary, and black pepper.
  3. **Make Dough:** Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. **Knead the Dough:** Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. **First Rise:** Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 8 hours).
  6. **Preheat & Prepare:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 4 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. **Roll the Dough:** On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thickness. If using a pasta machine, follow manufacturer's instructions, passing through the widest setting several times, dusting with flour as needed, until desired thickness is reached.
  8. **Cut Grissini:** Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the dough into 1/4 inch wide strips. Alternatively, use a fettuccine cutter on a pasta machine (if available).
  9. **Shape & Arrange:** Gently stretch each strip to lengthen it slightly. Arrange grissini on prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each.
  10. **Brush & Season:** Brush the grissini with olive oil and sprinkle generously with sea salt.
  11. **Bake:** Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  12. **Cool & Enjoy:** Let the grissini cool completely on a wire rack before storing in an airtight container.
