Ingredients 

  • 1,5 dl lukewarm water
  • 15 g yeast
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tbsp. sesame seeds
  • 170 g whole wheat flour (whole grain)
  • 80 g wheat flour
  • 1/2 egg (for brushing)

Instructions 

  • Mix the water and yeast and stir until dissolved. Then add half a teaspoon of salt and the oil. Save the remaining salt to sprinkle over the grissini sticks later.
  • Add the whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour, and knead the dough thoroughly.
  • Let the dough rise for 40 minutes, covered with a kitchen towel.
  • Preheat the oven to 190°C (fan/convection).
  • Lightly flour the work surface and divide the dough into smaller portions.
  • Roll the grissini sticks out to about 0.8 cm in thickness. Cut them to your preferred length, for example, 20–25 cm.
  • Place the grissini sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds and the remaining salt.
  • Bake them in the oven for about 15–20 minutes until they are crispy and golden.
