GRISSINI BREADSTICKS- CRUNCHY ITALIAN BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm water whisking until dissolved. Let stand 5-10 minutes until foam appears in the center. Now stir in the olive oil -- it won't incorporate but that's okay. Add the honey.
• Whisk together the flours, salt ( instant yeast if you're using it instead of the active dry.)
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet. You can use the stand mixer with the dough hook or you can knead by hand. If kneading by hand you may need to use an additional 2 Tablespoons of flour.
• Continue kneading for 10 minutes - the dough should be smooth. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
• Shape and stretch the dough into a 14" x 4" rectangle by pressing dough down with one hand and pulling the end with the other hand. Press and stretch from the other end. Make sure the dough stays at a width of 4". Repeat the process until the dough is 14" in length.
• Brush the dough with olive oil and let it rest on your work surface. Cover the top and sides with plastic wrap. Let the dough proof for 1 hour at room temperature. The dough will be puffy and a finger will leave an imprint when you press into it.

• Cut the quarter piece into 6 strips.
• Stretch and roll out the dough into 14-16" strips. The dough is very pliable and easy to work with.

• Place the strips on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
