I couldn’t help but making more grissinis (and to give you heads up, there might be even more tomorrow). Apart from being really tasty, they’re convenient, too. You can make however many you want and keep them in a container with a lid on, and they will last a long time (unless you eat them all).
I just have one problem with them.
Okay, fine. I have two.
1. Can you imagine how long it takes to roll (and bake) 100 grissinis?
2. I don’t have a container that’s long enough for them.
These would be perfect for a dinner party. A good tip is to make them the day before, as they do demand some time.
Rosemary grissini
Duration: 24 hours for pre-dough to get active. Then 5-6 hours to let the dough rise and making the grissinis.
Makes up to 100 thin grissinis.
Ingredients
Day 1
- 115 g (4 oz) white starter
- 400 g (14 oz, not fluid!) filtered water
- 200 g (7 oz) bread flour
- 6-7 stems fresh rosemary
- ½ cup olive oil
Day 2
- 1 tbsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp honey
- 450 g (15.9 oz) bread flour
Toppings
sea salt
fresh rosemary
Directions
Mince the fresh rosemary and marinate it in the olive oil. Cover and let sit for 24 hours. Make the pre-dough by mixing white starter, water and bread flour. Wrap the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit for 24 hours until the pre-dough is active, looking nice and bubbly.
Add sea salt, honey and bread flour. Let the dough rest 2-3 hours. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Divide the dough into little pieces. Roll out each piece so that it measures about 10 inches long, and ¼ of an inch wide. Put the grissinis on greased oven trays, brush them with water and sprinkle on your toppings. Bake in the oven for a total of ca. 20-25 minutes (turn the grissinis after 15 minutes to get an even golden brown color).
Let cool on a rack.
Top it off with some fresh rosemary or sea salt, and they’re good to go.

I had the same problem with not having a long enough container when I got the grissini bug! Beautiful photos!!!
Just have to rely on everybody eating them really fast
Thanks for the photo compliment, makes me happy!
Wow ! One recipe I like here! Do you make your own white starter? Do you have any recipe for it?

Hej! Tack, det här är faktiskt ett av mina favoritrecept! Det tog mig jättelång tid att klura ut hur jag skulle få igång min vetesurdeg… Men till slut gick det! Jag tog lite av rågsurdegen och matade den med vetemjöl special. Fortsätter du sedan att mata den med vetemjöl special samtidigt som du använder den för bakning så blir den slut en ren vetesurdeg. http://bitterbaker.com/cheat-sheet-how-to-make-your-wheat-starter-from-scratch/
