Breadsticks Recipe with Parmesan – Italian Style Grissini

Discover how to make Parmesan Grissini, the Italian-style breadsticks that make a crispy and delicious appetizer at home. The dough for these breadsticks is yeast-based, allowing you to incorporate various herbs and cheeses to suit your taste. There’s nothing better than a tasty, crunchy appetizer to stimulate your appetite!

If you enjoy grissini at restaurants, you will definitely love making these dipping sticks at home. The recipe is straightforward, and you can easily follow the steps in your kitchen. The ingredients are common and can be found in any store. I believe grissini is not only a perfect appetizer but also a healthy snack that pairs wonderfully with your favorite sauce or dip.

If you’re looking for more appetizer ideas, here are some of my favorites:

• Squid Rings
• Potato Croquettes
• Homemade Chicken Nuggets

And here are my top choices of sauces that pair perfectly with these snacks: Tartar Sauce, Mushroom Sauce, and, of course,  Homemade Hummus.

Ingredients for Easy Breadsticks Recipe:

• 450 g all-purpose flour;
• 250 ml warm water;
• 2 tsp. dry yeast;
• 3 tbsp. olive oil;
• 1 tsp. sugar;
• 1 tsp. salt;
• 150 g parmesan.

How to Make Homemade Grissini with Parmesan:

• In a deep bowl cover dry yeast with warm water and stir it.

• Pour olive oil to the bowl, sprinkle salt with sugar. Mix. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes. This time will be enough for the yeast to start reacting.

• Start adding flour in bunches. At first, I tend to use a spoon for mixing and when the dough becomes thicker, I will continue kneading with hands.

• In the end, you should get a thick malleable dough. Cover it with a kitchen towel and place the bowl in a dark warm place for an hour.

• If you followed all the instructions, then the dough should double in size. Now is also the time to shred parmesan. You can use graters of different sizes.

• Add grated cheese to the dough and thoroughly knead it once again. Leave it once again for 1 hour.

• Preheat oven at 350ºF/180°C. Tear off small portions of dough from the main piece. Roll up strips with a thickness as a pencil, 20-25 cm long.

• Spread parchment paper over the baking tray and place strips of dough with some space between them. Let the tray sit for 15 minutes at the room temperature before baking. Bake parmesan breadsticks for 20 minutes. Let grissini sticks cool down before serving. Enjoy your meal!

This is not my first time baking grissini at home. I’ve discovered that a combination of flavors works best for me. If you’re a first-time cook, consider adding various seasonings, different types of cheese, olives, and even bacon to find out which flavors you and your family enjoy the most. Trust me, once you master the recipe, you won’t be able to get enough of them!
