Instructions
Combine all ingredients except toppings in a mixing bowl or stand mixer. Knead by hand until dough is soft and smooth (5-7 minutes). Dough will not pass the windowpane test, though it will stretch.
Place dough in an oiled container and cover. Stretch the dough and fold it on itself at 40 minutes and 80 minutes of rest. After another 40 minutes (2 hours total), shape the dough.
Divide dough into 3 pieces. Cover the pieces of dough you're not shaping. On a floured surface, pat the dough out into a 12x4 inch rectangle. Brush with olive oil and toppings. Use a pizza cutter to cut it into 16 strips. Place grissini on a parchment-lined baking sheet. They should all fit on the baking sheet. Repeat with other pieces of dough.
Let grissini rest while you preheat the oven to 350F. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Grissini should be brown and crisp. Cool on a wire rack.
