Bread Sticks (Grissini)
by:
We all want to know how to make those crispy little bread sticks served at the beginning of a meal in some Italian restaurants. Most of those we encounter arent of very good quality so you'll be delighted with this homemade version. One of the great things about making these bread sticks is how many you can make with just a small amount of dough. The dough used here is relatively stiff and is flavored with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. The rising time is slow because of the salt in the dough and in the cheese. You can also include herbs such as thyme or rosemary. Makes sixteen 12-inch bread sticks.
