Grissini [0000988]

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon xanthan gum (if not included in your flour blend)
1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2/3 cup lukewarm water
1 teaspoon gluten-free active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Fresh rosemary or sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm water, gluten-free active dry yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum (if needed), gluten-free baking powder, and salt.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and extra-virgin olive oil.

Stir the ingredients together until they form a sticky dough.

Turn the dough out onto a surface lightly dusted with gluten-free flour. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a bit more gluten-free flour as needed.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Divide the gluten-free dough into small pieces, each about the size of a walnut.

Roll each piece of dough between your hands to create thin ropes, about 10-12 inches long. The thickness should be similar to that of a pencil.

Place the gluten-free grissini on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.

If desired, sprinkle fresh rosemary or sesame seeds over the grissini for extra flavor and texture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the grissini are golden brown and crispy.

Remove the gluten-free grissini from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.

Serve your homemade gluten-free Grissini as appetizers, and enjoy the crunchy, flavorful breadsticks!

These gluten-free Grissini are a perfect addition to your appetizer spread or as a snack for any occasion.
