Sourdough Grissini
Grissini is the perfect party food. You can serve it both as appetizers or as snacks, perhaps with a dip.
- 250 gram water
- 150 gram mature sourdough starter
- 500 gram Wheat flour (Bread flour or all pourpose flour)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon suger
- 1 tablespoon softened butter
- topping of your taste (fennel, flax, sesame seed etc.)
- egg yolk or olive oil for brushing
Mix all ingredients, except oil or egg yolk and toppings, and knead until all flour is hydrated. I find it easiest to knead by hand.
Let the dough rest for at least 3 hours.
Pat out the dough into a plat rectangular shape with your hands.
Cut the dough into strips with a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
Brush the strips with olive oil or egg yolk and sprinkle with preferred topping.
Let the dough strips ferment for 1 hour. Preheat your oven to 480ºF / 250ºC.
Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Let cool on wire rack.
