Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 250 g flour + 2 tbsp for kneading
• 120 ml water warm
• 50 g pumpkin puree 2 tbsp, pumpkin roasted and pureed ahead of time
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 4 g active dry yeast
• 0.5 tsp dried garlic
• 1 tsp turmeric
• sesame seeds for coating the breadsticks

Method

 

1. Knead the dough any way you like - I put all the ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer and knead with the dough hook, adding a couple of spoonfuls of flour along the way.
2. Preheat the oven to 180-190°C, top-bottom heat setting.
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, divide into pieces, and roll into sticks by hand.
4. Transfer the grissini to a baking tray, then roll or sprinkle with sesame seeds, paprika or dried garlic if you like.
5. Bake for 15-17 minutes at 180-190°C.
   

Tips

• Roast the pumpkin ahead of time and puree it - that way the puree stays thick and won't loosen the dough.
• If the dough is sticky, add a couple of extra spoonfuls of flour while kneading.
• Roll the breadsticks in paprika, dried garlic or any of your favorite spices instead of sesame seeds if you like.
