PROSCIUTTO-PARMESAN GRISSINI (PUFF PASTRY BREADSTICKS)

Steps:

• Thaw frozen puff pastry by bringing to room temperature, covered in plastic wrap, for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Sprinkle a large cutting surface with flour. Place puff pastry sheet on top of prepared surface and carefully unfold, making a 9-10 inch square. Brush with beaten egg. Top with cheese and press into the pastry dough. Cut the square into 16 strips Place strips 1/2 inch apart and bake for 10 minutes, grissini should be lightly golden. Cool for 15 minutes.
• Cut each slice of prosciutto into four thin strips and wrap one diagonally around each breadstick. Serve immediately.
• FREEZING: Grissini can be frozen after the 15-minute cooling period. When ready to serve bake at 350 for 6-8 minutes if frozen and 2-3 minutes if thawed.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line a heavy large baking sheet with a silpat (nonstick baking mat) or parchment paper. Tear the dough along the perforations into strips. Using a pizza cutter or a large sharp knife, cut each dough strip in half lengthwise to form thin strips. Working with 1 dough strip at a time, roll each dough strip in the Parmesan cheese and twist. Transfer the dough strips to the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake until the breadsticks are golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes. Cool the breadsticks completely on the baking sheet.
• Before serving, wrap 1 slice of prosciutto around each cooled breadstick. Arrange the prosciutto-wrapped breadsticks on a platter.
