Grissini
Ingredients
- 250 g flour (type 405)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 20 g fresh yeast
- 1 pinch sugar
- 6 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp black sesame seeds (alternatively, light sesame seeds)
- 150 ml water, lukewarm
Instructions
-
Mix the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the yeast with the sugar and 150 ml lukewarm water until smooth. Leave to rise for 5 minutes. Add to the flour mixture together with 5 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds and knead with the dough hook of a food processor or hand mixer for at least 5 minutes until smooth.
-
Cover the dough and leave to rise in a warm place for 30 – 40 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C top/ bottom heat. Knead the dough again thoroughly and roll out into a rectangle of approx. 20 x 20 cm. Sprinkle the remaining sesame seeds evenly over the dough, roll lightly with the rolling pin and brush thinly with the remaining olive oil. Cut the dough into strips about 1 cm wide and roll them slightly round with the hands. Place them apart on one or two baking trays lined with baking paper, sprinkle with a little water and bake in the hot oven for about 10 minutes, one after the other.
-
After cooling, enjoy immediately or pack in an airtight container to keep them nice and crispy.
