Dough
3 1/2 cups Unbleached Pastry Flour -- 13 oz
1 tablespoon Pizza Dough Flavor -- optional, (available
from King Arthur)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 cup lukewarm water -- (8 oz)
2 tablespoons olive oil -- or garlic oil
2 teaspoons instant yeast
Topping
1 large egg white -- whisked with 1 Tbsp water
1/4 cup sesame seeds -- toasted or plain (1 1/4 oz) *Note
*Note: or whole flax seeds or other seeds or nuts of your
choice.
To make the dough: Mix and knead together all of the dough
ingredients - by hand, mixer, or bread machine - till you have a
smooth, fairly soft dough. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl
big enough to allow it to double in size, cover the bowl, and
refrigerate overnight, or for up to 24 hours.
Remove the puffy dough from the refrigerator, and transfer it to a
lightly greased work surface. Pat it into a 20" x 5" rectangle, and
brush with the beaten egg white, or spray with King Arthur Quick
Shine. Sprinkle evenly with the seeds.
Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two large baking sheets. Use
a pizza wheel or baker's bench knife or other sharp straight-edge to
cut the dough into 1/2" strips. Gently twist each strip (as though
you were wringing out a towel), and place each strip on the prepared
pan, leaving about 3/4" between them. As you twist the strips, they
stretch to about 10" long; for longer, thinner grissini, simply
stretch them a bit more.
Tent the grissini with lightly greased plastic wrap, and allow them
to warm to room temperature and become a bit puffy; this will take
about 3 hours. Near the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to
400F. Bake the grissini for 30 minutes, until they're a light golden
brown. Remove them from the oven, and place them on a rack to cool
completely. Serve plain or with almond-garlic dip, if desired.
Yield: 40 grissini.
