Grissini

Directions

1. 1
   Sift flour with 1 tsp into a bowl. Stir in yeast and sugar. Make a well in center and pour in 1/2 cup lukewarm water and oil. Stir, gradually incorporating flour into liquid, until a dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to grease all over. Cover and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
2. 2
   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking pans with parchment paper.
3. 3
   Punch down dough. Cover and set aside for 30 mins, until doubled again.
4. 4
   Break off teaspoon-size pieces of dough, keeping remaining dough covered. Roll each piece into a long, thin log about 10 inches long. Arrange on prepared pans. Lightly spray with water and sprinkle with sea salt.
5. 5
   Bake for 10 mins. Gently shake trays to roll grissini over and bake for another 10 mins, until pale golden and crisp. Cool and serve or store in airtight container.
