Rising time:
1–1 1⁄2 hrs

Ingredients:
1 quantity grissini dough
3 tbsp sea salt
12 slices prosciutto

Method:
1 Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and dust 3 baking sheets with flour. Brush the rolled out dough with water and sprinkle with sea salt crystals.

2 With a sharp knife, cut the dough into 32 strips, each 1⁄2in (1cm) wide. Stretch each one to the width of the baking sheet and position 3⁄4in (2cm) apart. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden and crisp. Cool on a wire rack.

3 Cut each slice of prosciutto lengthwise into 3. Wrap each grissini at one end with one-third of a slice of ham just before serving as a canapé.

PREPARE AHEAD:
The grissini can be made 1 day ahead and stored unwrapped in an airtight container.

BAKER’S TIP:
Homemade grissini are a lovely addition to a party menu. Experiment by adding flavor and texture, using things such as chopped olives, or smoked paprika, or your favorite cheeses; or leave them plain for a healthy and child-friendly snack. They will be at their best if eaten on the day they are baked.
