Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast in a large bowl. Let sit for 5-7 minutes until foamy to activate the yeast.

  2. 2

    Add flour, kosher salt, and extra-virgin olive oil. Mix with a spoon, then knead until a smooth, elastic dough forms—about 10 minutes by hand or 5 minutes with a mixer.

  3. 3

    Cover the bowl with a damp towel and allow the dough to rise at room temperature until doubled, about 45 minutes.

  4. 4

    Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment. Cut the dough into thin strips (about 1/2 inch wide), then roll each into long, even sticks using your palms.

  5. 5

    Place each stick on the prepared sheets. Brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt or sesame seeds. Bake at 400°F for 18-22 minutes, rotating trays halfway, until grissini are golden and crisp.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this grissini torinesi recipe?
All-purpose flour is the foundational ingredient, providing the classic crispy structure of grissini. Combined with olive oil and yeast, it creates the light, airy crumb inside and the signature snap on the outside.
Q. What’s the most important step for achieving the right crunch in grissini?
Allowing the dough to rise fully and then rolling the sticks as thin and evenly as possible is crucial. Baking at a high temperature (400°F) and rotating the trays ensures even browning and a perfect crispness.
Q. How can I prevent my breadsticks from being too hard or too soft?
Monitor baking closely, especially in the last few minutes. Remove the grissini as soon as they’re golden and crisp; overbaking dries them out, while underbaking leaves them chewy instead of snappy.
Q. How many calories per serving and what’s the main nutrition profile?
Each 30g serving has about 110 kcal, with carbohydrates providing 73% of calories, fat 16%, and protein 11%. This makes grissini primarily a light, crisp carb snack with moderate protein and low fat.
