Instructions
- Place the flour into the bowl of a stand mixer, and make a well in the center.
- Add the yeast and the malt syrup, and pour over half of the water.
- Let stand for 10 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine the olive oil and the rest of the water.
- Using the dough hook, start mixing at low speed while gradually adding the oil and water mixture.
- Once the liquid is incorporated, add the salt.
- Knead at medium speed until you obtain an elastic and smooth dough.
- Increase the speed, and knead for 2 minutes at high speed.
- Sprinkle the bottom of a baking sheet with durum wheat semolina and place the dough on top, giving it a rectangular shape.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the dough generously with extra virgin olive oil.
- Place in a warm, draft-free place, and let it rise for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400 F (200°C).
- Once the dough has at least doubled in size, using a knife with a very long, smooth blade, cut the dough along the short side into strips about ½ inch (1 cm) thick.
- Holding each strip at each end, stretch until they are the length of the baking sheet.
- Arrange these pieces of dough, spaced apart, on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- For sesame or poppy seed grissini, brush with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with seeds.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly browned.
- Place on a cooling rack, and allow to cool completely before storing the grissini in a paper bag to keep crisp.
