PROSCIUTTO-PARMESAN GRISSINI (PUFF PASTRY BREADSTICKS)
Found in a supermarket booklet, it's easy to prepare and impressive enough for guests. Originally from the Emilia-Romagna region in Northern Italy, these long, thin breadstick appetizers are another reason to keep frozen puff pastry on hand. The 60 minutes prep time includes thawing of frozen pastry dough and cooling time once baked. Can be made ahead and frozen.

Steps:
- Stir together yeast, 1/4 cup warm water, and sugar in bowl of mixer and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, start over with new yeast.)
- Add semolina flour, "00" flour, and salt to yeast mixture along with oil and remaining 1 1/4 cups warm water and mix at low speed until a very soft dough forms. If necessary, mix in just enough "00" flour (up to 1/4 cup) to prevent dough from sticking to side of bowl. Increase speed to medium and beat, scraping down side of bowl occasionally, until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes (dough will be soft). Scrape dough into center of bowl and dust with 2 tablespoons additional "00" flour. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel and let dough rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F with racks in upper and lower thirds. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Punch down dough and turn out onto a floured surface (do not knead), then cut dough in half. Keeping 1 half covered with plastic wrap, cut other half into 16 equal pieces and roll each into a 15- to 16-inch rope (1/8 to 1/4 inch thick), lightly dusting your hands if dough is sticky. Arrange ropes 1/2 inch apart on 1 baking sheet, then make more ropes with remaining dough and arrange on second baking sheet.
- Bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until grissini are pale golden and crisp, 30 to 35 minutes total. Transfer to racks to cool.
Tips:
- Use a high-quality prosciutto for the best flavor.
- If you don't have time to make the dough from scratch, you can use a store-bought pizza dough.
- Be sure to roll the dough out very thinly, so that the grissini are crispy.
- Bake the grissini until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the grissini warm or at room temperature, with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Grissini with prosciutto is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a snack that is both flavorful and satisfying.
