Black-Olive Grissini
- 1/2 cup rye flour
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup Kalamata or other brine-cured black olives (3 oz), pitted and finely chopped
- 1/2 cup well-shaken buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
- 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water to make egg wash
- parchment paper
- Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment.
- Whisk together flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a large bowl, then stir in olives, buttermilk, and butter until a dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 5 or 6 times.
- Halve dough and form each half into a 12-inch log. Cut each log into 16 pieces. Roll each piece into a 10-inch-long rope and arrange 1/2 inch apart on lined baking sheets.
- Brush breadsticks lightly with some of egg wash. Bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until golden and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes total. Cool on sheets on a rack 30 minutes.
