Ingredients (Serves 1)
400 g spelt wholemeal flour
100 g buckwheat flour
10 g yeast
1 dl water (100 ml)
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp fresh oregano leaves
~1.5 dl water (150 ml)
Olive oil, for brushing
Salt and pepper, for sprinkling
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the spelt flour and buckwheat flour. Form a well in the center.
2. Put the yeast into the well and add 1 dl water. Stir gently in the well to create a paste, then sprinkle a small amount of flour from the edges over the mixture.
3. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Mix and Knead
1. After 30 minutes, add the salt, oregano, and the remaining 1.5 dl water.
2. Knead the ingredients together to form a soft, pliable dough. If it feels too dry, add water a tablespoon at a time.
3. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm spot until it doubles in size, about 1–2 hours.
Step 3: Shape the Grissini
1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin stick, about 1 cm thick, and place them on the prepared tray.
Step 4: Add the Finishing Touch
1. Lightly brush the grissini with olive oil.
2. Sprinkle with salt and pepper for extra flavour.
3. Cover the tray with a cloth and let the grissini rise again for 30 minutes.
Step 5: Bake the Grissini
1. Bake the grissini in the middle of the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
These crunchy, flavourful grissini are best enjoyed fresh, paired with cheese or alongside your favourite dips. They’re a perfect addition to any aperitif spread or as a thoughtful, homemade gift.
