Italian Grissini sticks

2 1/2 tsp yeast

1 cup lukewarm water

1 tsp honey

3 1/2-4 cups white flour

2 tsp sea salt

1 tsp rosemary

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp oregano

1/4 cup olive oil

Can top with sesame seeds or course sea salt or parmasean cheese.

Dissolve the yeast, water and honey for 5 minutes then mix all other ingredients in your mixer. Cover the dough with Saran Wrap and let rise for 1 hour.  Preheat oven to 400. Cut dough into 30 pieces.  Roll the dough into thin pieces and bake 10-12 minutes.  The longer you bake them the crispier they become.  The grissini sticks should snap when you break them in half.
