Grissini is one the basic bread that you can find in Italian Supermarkets like Cadoro, Ali, Coop, Euro Spin, Pam, Lidl and any other local supermarket around Treviso and Venice. Making Grissini is easy as long as you follow the Resting Time of Dough:
Resting Time number 1: 30-minute dough rest after kneading (cover it with a cloth)
Resting Time number 2: After rested, flatten the dough in a wide rectangular (rest the dough for another 30 minutes, cover it with a cloth)
Resting Time number 3: Cut it into thin long rectangular forms, roll it longer so it will thing into a round thing stick and so on and so forth, put it in a wide tray, cover with cloth, rest the round long stick for another 30 minutes, after that, it’s ready to bake)

Lesson 4: Rolling the Dough
Lesson 5: Dough Resting (30 minutes)
Lesson 6: Cutting the Dough into Grissini
Lesson 7: Baking Time
So we started by preparing a lukewarm water from 280 ml of water indicated and dissolved the yeast just like this one. And in on this container what we’re going to do is we’re going to put the remaining warm water and dissolve the salt. So the salt is that would be four gain using my hand. That is 4 g. And then you need to sift flour in a round bowl. I’m going to sift in the flour and then Second one. I’m going to add oil. So, I have the oil here. Olive oil. And how much gram of olive oil? That is 25 g. Making a bread is very making a cine is very easy. All you have to do is only to have more time because you need to rest the dough. I’ll be using a bit of flour. around 14 or 1/4 or just 1/16th of flour. So I can knead the dough for 10 minutes is clean. And then I’m going to spread a bit of flour here. [Music] Okay, my dough, my nuts. So, I have to knead the dough here in the counter so I can mix them properly. So your hand is sticking in. So you have to put a bit of flour. The reason why we have to knead the dough here for 10 minutes is because we’re searching for a elastic compound. So still that is the so always need if you feel it’s sticky like this just continue kneading and adding a bit of flour. Do not add a lot of flour because um We are not going to make it too flowery. And sometimes you you can actually ban or what do you call this one? Throw the flour on the counter. So to activate the yeast like this. But because we’re living with a lot of people can hear this kind of money. So I don’t bang the dough. But you have you should bang the dough like that louder. It should be louder in the bakery when uh when they’re baking you will hear a lot of uh bakers that are doing like uh having an exercise and after that they’re banging it very loudly. So, it’s still sticky. So, I have to wash my hand because it’s um not really good for eating. You wash your hand and then you clean. Wipe it. But wipe it. And then put the flour on your hand. Still sticky. What are we looking for? For a bread or for a dough, not just a bread, but all type of dough, is the elasticity of the dough. Meaning to say if it’s like a rubber then that means the dough is ready to rest. Not too big because you have to rest the dough. still sticky. So have to do for 10 minutes. Sometimes you see it’s still sticky. So So Oh, sticky. I’ll need to wash my hand again. And then I have to rub I have to clean my hand, wipe my hand, and then make sure that it’s not wet and then flour again my hand. As you can see here, the dough is very It seems like not Let’s see if it’s elastic. elasticity elastic compound. It’s still sticky. Meaning to say I have to dang it. You can put all your anger there. Especially if there’s something happened to your life. You have to push the dough so more elasticity. And then you have to. Oh. Now we can let the dough I think this is good to rest for an hour. We have to shape the dough into a uh rectangular shape. Brush it with extra virgin oil. So I think [Music]
