Ingredients:
– 250 grams of Flour
– 150 milliliters of Warm Water
– 1 teaspoon Salt
– 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
– 2 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
– 1 tablespoon Honey
Instructions:
Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and honey, and leave for about five minutes to activate the yeast. If the mixture becomes frothy, the yeast is activated. If not, leave it for another five minutes.
Step 2: Next, add the flour and salt to the mixture and stir it with a wooden spoon to form a rough dough. Transfer the dough to a clean and floured surface and continue kneading the dough.
Step 3: Keep kneading the dough for about 10 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, dust it with some flour.
Step 4: Form the dough into a ball and place it in a clean, oil-lined container, and cover it with a clean damp cloth. Leave it to rise for about an hour or until it doubles in volume.
Step 5: Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 6: When the dough has risen, punch it down to deflate it and remove it from the container. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to form a thin rectangle. Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into strips (about 1cm wide) and stretch them out to form long and thin bread sticks.
Step 7: Place the Grissini on the lined baking sheet and brush them with olive oil. Bake them in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
Step 8: Leave the Grissini on the baking sheet to cool down after removing them from the oven.
