Rosemary Black Olive Grissini
- 1 cup warm water (about 110F)
- 2 1/2 cups bread flour
- 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 cup black olive paste (see tip below)
- 3 tablespoons fresh rosemary, minced
- Either by hand in a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix the water, flour, yeast, salt, olive paste and rosemary.
- When the dough comes together, turn it onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.
- The dough will be slightly oily because of the olive paste.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until doubled in volume (60 to 90 minutes).
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- If your oven has a convection setting, place 3 racks in the oven and adjust the temperature according to your oven's requirements.
- Otherwise, place a rack in the center and bake 1 pan at a time.
- Line 4 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- If you don't have enough pans, cut at least 4 sheets of parchment so you have something to set the cut dough on.
- On a lightly greased work surface, roll the dough to a rectangle about 20 inches by 12 inches.
- The dough will be very easy to roll.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough so you have strips that are 10 inches long and 1/4 inch wide.
- Gently roll each breadstick beneath your palms to round the edges.
- If you like a twist in your breadstick, roll the ends in opposite directions.
- Place the sticks on the baking sheets (or just on parchment paper if you don't have enough baking sheets) at least 1/4-inch apart.
- Cover with a tea towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to racks to cool completely.
- Grissini will keep in an airtight container for several days.
- Just keep the humidity away.
