Ingredients

For the dough

2 tsp instant yeast (or a 7g sachet)
220 g water
400 g flour
1 teaspoon salt
30 g extra virgin olive oil

Toppings (optional and adaptable)

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil *see notes
2 tablespoon sesame seeds (or poppy seeds)
1 teaspoon salt flakes

Instructions

Place yeast and water in the mixing bowl and mix 1 minute / 37 degrees / speed 1.
Add flour, salt, olive oil and knead 2 minutes / lid closed / knead.
Grease a large bowl with a little olive oil. Transfer dough to the bowl and cover with a damp tea towel or plastic wrap.
Find a warm spot and leave the dough to rise for 1 - 2 hours, depending on how warm your house is.
Once the dough is risen, tip it out onto a floured surface and knock the air out of it. Now shape it into a large, wide log shape. Then cover it with a clean tea towel and leave to prove for a further 10-15 minutes.
Pre-heat your oven to 200 °C/ 400 °F. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a long thin rectangle approximately 12-15cm wide.
Use a pastry brush to brush the entire surface of the dough with the olive oil.
Sprinkle over the sesame seeds (or poppy seeds). Use your rolling pin to lightly press the seeds into the dough.
Use a dough cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into 1cm strips.
Take each strip and holding it at either end, stretch the dough out into a long stick. Place each strip slightly apart onto a baking tray. (I usually get 10 breadsticks to a tray).
Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until lightly golden and crisp. Cool on a cooling rack.
Store in an airtight container until ready to serve.

Notes

Infused olive oil: If you want to add extra flavour to your Grissini, infuse the olive oil with garlic and rosemary: Measure two tablespoons of olive oil into a jar with a lid. Add crushed or finely grated garlic and some rosemary leaves. Shake the jar and set aside until ready to use.
