Staying with Italy for another day, here is an example of treating a familiar material (dough) in a different way to produce something novel: breadsticks or "grissini"
Having made a Ciabatta dough you slice off strips which are then stretched and rolled in a coating of salt flakes, sesame seeds or poppy seeds and rested on a lined tray for the second rise.
Baked for a good while (30 mins or so) until they have dried out to the core.
As they have no moisture left they will keep for ages in a tin or jar. It is a little too easy to overdo the salt flakes but the sesame seed and poppy seed ones are infallible!
it looks delicious~!
ReplyDeleteI’d be opting for the seed version. I don’t like things that are too salty
