Serves: 100 grissinis
Ingredients
  • 300g (2 ½ cups) plain flour
  • 75ml (2.7 fl oz) extra virgin olive oil
  • 150ml (5.4 fl oz) warm water
  • 2 teaspoons yeast powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
  1. The grissinis' dough is made using the Multipurpose Olive Oil Dough published at Tasty Mediterraneo: In a big bowl combine the flour, the salt and the yeast powder. Make a well in the middle and pour into it the olive oil and the warm water. With a silicon spatula bring the flour in from the sides and mix it well with the liquid. Keep mixing until it all starts to come together, and then keep on mixing with your clean hands and knead it until you have a smooth, not sticky, dough.
  2. Cover the bowl with a cloth and place in a warm place of the house for at least half an hour until the dough has doubled its volume.
  3. Remove the dough from the bowl and place it in a clean flour-dusted surface.
  4. Divide the dough in several portions for an easier manipulation. Knead it a bit with your hands and, with the help of a rolling pin (lightly dusted in flour), extend the dough gradually flattening it out.
  5. With the help of a sharp knife cut the flattened dough into thin strips. And spread over the strips the chia seeds. Line an oven tray with baking paper and place on it the strips one by one, leaving enough space between each other.
  6. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C (400 degrees F)
  7. Bake in the oven for 10 min at 200 degrees C (400 degrees F) until they are golden and crunchy.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool.
