Crispy grissini sticks

Italian breadsticks are the size of a pencil, sprinkled with various spices. In the classic recipe, the dough consists of only 4 ingredients: flour, olive oil, water and yeast. But often they add cheese, chopped olives, sun-dried tomatoes to the filling, and even wrap the sticks in ham. Grissini is served as an aperitif, a snack for alcoholic drinks, or taken with you for a crunchy snack.
