Best 5 Unleavened Breadsticks Recipes
Unleavened breadsticks, also known as grissini, are a delightful and crispy Italian breadsnack or appetizer that can be enjoyed on their own or paired with various dips and spreads. These long, thin breadsticks are typically made with a simple dough consisting of flour, water, salt, and sometimes olive oil or herbs for added flavor. The absence of leavening agents, such as yeast or baking powder, results in a flat and cracker-like texture that makes them perfect for dipping. Unleavened breadsticks are a versatile culinary creation that can be customized with different toppings and seasonings to suit various taste preferences. Whether you're looking for a crunchy snack to munch on or an accompaniment to your favorite dishes, these unleavened breadsticks offer a delightful and satisfying treat.

Steps:
- Make the dough: Place 1/4 cup warm water in the bowl of a mixer; sprinkle in the yeast and set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add the flour, butter, sugar, fine salt and 1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons warm water; mix with the paddle attachment until a slightly sticky dough forms, 5 minutes.
- Knead the dough by hand on a floured surface until very smooth and soft, 3 minutes. Roll into a 2-foot-long log; cut into 16 1 1/2-inch-long pieces. Knead each piece slightly and shape into a 7-inch-long breadstick; arrange 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with a cloth; let rise in a warm spot until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Make the topping: Brush the breadsticks with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Bake until lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt with the garlic powder and oregano. Brush the warm breadsticks with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle with the flavored salt.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500°F.
- Mix all dry ingredients until well blended.
- Add in wet ingredients and mix together, just enough to moisten. This shouldn't require much kneading. Allow to rest for 10 minutes at room temperature (cover dough while resting).
- Pinch off balls approx 2" in diameter and roll to smooth. When all balls are formed, roll each one into a 5" circle approximately the thickness of of a pie crust.
- Bake each round on a pizza tray on lowest rack in oven for about 3 minutes. They should bubble up a bit and be slightly browned. Don't over bake.
- Keep in refrigerator or freeze in small batches as they have a fairly short shelf life due to their deliciousness and lack of leavening and preservatives.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially for the flour and olive oil, as they will greatly impact the taste of the breadsticks.
- Make sure the water is warm but not hot, as hot water can kill the yeast and prevent the breadsticks from rising properly.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, as this will help develop the gluten and give the breadsticks a chewy texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, as this will allow the yeast to work and produce gas, which will make the breadsticks light and airy.
- Brush the breadsticks with olive oil before baking, as this will help them brown and give them a crispy exterior.
- Bake the breadsticks until they are golden brown, as this will ensure that they are cooked through and have a delicious flavor.
Conclusion:
Unleavened breadsticks are a simple yet delicious snack or appetizer that can be enjoyed with a variety of dipping sauces. They are also a great way to use up leftover dough from other recipes.
