How to Make GRISSINI | The Real Italian Breadsticks

[@PastaGrammar]

These breadsticks may not be unlimited, but they're sure delicious and we hope you try them! What recipe should I learn from Eva next?

[@janekopa9297]

Chicken dishes.

[@theresahenderson3534]

The government of Italy should support you two since you are bringing the love of Italy to the world.

[@theresahenderson3534]

Eva, please make an Sunday Italian breakfast or the best Italian breakfast ever.

[@micheleanhoury518]

I Thank you Eva, with Harper by your side, for showing us how to make them and be creative with our toppings! 🙌 Like the King’s son, I can only eat a bread’s crust but furthermore, I would need the Grissini to be Gluten-free and you say not to use other flours 😰. Since I have not choice, I’m wondering which other flours you tried but certainly: which would you recommend best and which to avoid for your flour based recipes. Grazie mille per tutto questo!

[@PastaGrammar]

@michele try Caputo gluten free flour

[@mygetawayart]

for the sole purpose of science, we need to bring Eva to Olive Garden.

[@PastaGrammar]

[@bun04y]

Maybe to save Eva's pallet and embarrassment to Olive Garden, she can just read the menu online. I'm sure she'll get a headache from all the eye rolling she'll need to do.

Why oh why do you wish this on the poor woman? What has she done?

[@Rudromukherjeenerv]

Haha! Yes! Carnage will ensue!

[@is0s]

The beauty of this channel is that, even if it's aimed to non-italians, it's perfectly enjoyable by us, inhabitants of the Boot. Being entertained by the extreme italianness and "calabresity"" of Eva aside, she is always able to teach me something new, may it be a new dish that was lost in the big tangle of italian regionalism or techniques, that she portrays with such genuine manner. Of course, Harper's wonder, curiosity and will to learn make this show too, alongside his humor: you make a great duo. Big hugs to what became one of my favourite among all cooking channels! A fan from Rome.

[@Hollis_has_questions]

"The more you put, the more you will find" is a great Eva catch phrase. Love it.

[@missieinthemiddle]

I love Eva's facial expressions when Harper tries make her laugh with his jokes.... every Italian knows that face and what she is saying. We just cannot hide our feelings. lol

[@PastaGrammar]

😂😂😂😂

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

I have always been someone that wears their “heart on their sleeve“ and says everything on my mind with barely a filter. This is because I am French and Italian with my ancestry as an American, and I am absolutely positive that is the case (neither peoples are shy about opinions and feelings!). Eva doesn’t like me because of it (with my calling out a comment of hers that rubbed me the wrong way), but I’m sure she has to be used to people speaking their mind with her heritage lol.

[@davidhoover2446]

That's real people. I am a Floridian and so is my wife and we are both honest forward people. I love people who are what they are and don't hide behind anything.

[@stevyd]

!/2 of my Itaian ancestors are from Piemonte, the Italian province wherein lies Torino. When we had big family holiday gatherings, there were always "Grising" at the table, even the separate small table for us little ones. We loved them not only because they were crunchy and delicious, especially when wrapped with a slice of Mortadella or prosciutto, but also because we could karate-chop them and they would break off pieces, flying across the table and wacking into each other. A nice change from flipping olives at each other. Our folks never seemed to understand how fun this was, reminding us how lucky we were not to be starving like the poor kids in some distant foreign land.

[@ifyouloveChristyouwillobeyhim]

Sounds like a classic childhood, I'm happy for you.

[@ps5801]

I love how Eva clarifies the English language for us. It used to be that food was moist. Eva taught us that it's actually moisty... creamy, tasty, moisty... I didn't know that before. And it used to be that "some" was an indeterminate amount. Now we all know exactly how much "some" is. I just live in fear that one day the Italians will want her back.

[@Kathleen5429]

I see a trip to the Olive Garden coming up soon! Hahaa. And don’t forget to have an ambulance in the parking lot for Eva when the “experience” becomes too much for her!!! 😉

[@PastaGrammar]

😂😂😂

[@ridgleyhawthorne715]

And it will (be too much,.....! Now, the question is - Is Harper that cruel & sadistic? Only Eva can tell..🤣

[@RocRizzo]

Don’t you mean an ambulance for the food poisoning?

[@Hullj]

I 2xpect her better sense will kick in and keep her from eating drech.

[@alexrafe2590]

Yes, yes Eva wants to satisfy her curiosity about Olive Garden. Take her Harper please! That’s an episode I must see🙂 She can experience an American concept of Italian cooking so amazing it has spread across the country😁

[@cherilynn8852]

Eva, I love your Italian-ness! You make my heart smile!!

[@Liligal1]

Never have I ever had homemade grassini before. I am definitely making these! I agree with you Harper. I think you would blow away any dinner guest if you bring out homemade breadsticks. Great job again Harper. Bravo! 👏🏻👍🏻

[@al007italia]

1 of the things I love about this channel is how often I see something that is a flashback to my childhood. This time it is the rolling pin, it reminded me of the 1 that my Italian grandfather used to make egg noodles.

[@needacatalyst]

I want tickets to watch Eva eat at Olive Garden. Watching outspoken Eva wrestle with polite Eva seems like it would be entertaining.

[@imkadosh]

Thus is the best recipe I have ever found in KZbin. I’ve been looking for this forever. Thank you Eva and Harper for this recipe.

[@richardengelhardt582]

Excellent instructions. My coooking teacher in Italy went through the recipe so quickly and made it seem so complicated, eith endless steps, that I was scared off making them. And never mastered what I now understand to be a quite simple process that I'm confident I can do. I too have difficulty digesting soft white bread, but have no difficulty with crunchy toasted variations like this. So I am looking forward to making these. Thank you!

[@rumbleinthekitchen_Amy]

I made these for NYE a few years ago but after they were baked I wrapped them in bacon & sprinkled them with brown sugar & hot peppers and baked them again. They were a HUGE hit.

[@ludmillam.grabetz7649]

Goodness the crunch sound, sounds wonderful!!!! Thank you Harper and Eva!!!

I just made these with sourdough discard and some rye and flour. I like the crunchy texture and very thin shape.

[@MichaelandJustin]

The olive one looks quite amazing, but I am sure that they are all very good. Good job, with that recipe. And, Harper, keep Eva far away from mess that is Olive Garden. Italians deserve better.

[@ccantrell4053]

OMG you guys can grow rosmarino in Arizona in the garden or patio! Molti anni fa, I tried to make bread and it was a disaster. Came out like a brick. I was traumatized. You guys inspire me to try agai n I think because Eva's approach is so natural.

[@lisabishop6266]

My older brother has a huge rosemary bush in his back yard, he lives in VA. I want to grow some here in NY, just might have to pot it and bring inside during winter.

[@00infidel00]

The classic grissini of Torino are longer as Eva said and they are without any topping, but you do a great job. In Torino you can also find grissini easily with sesame and rosemary. Grissini with olives are rare.

[@martyleyeti]

Great Videos Guys. It reminds me of my childhood. I'm from France, and back in the days, we used to live in Nizza, close to the Italian Border. Sometimes my parents went to San Remo or Vintimiglia and we always brought back some Grissinis. It's so light and tasty that you can eat quite a bunch of it, which is great for kids

[@ene_ai]

"But I am shy" My heart melted.

[@Parmesana]

I always make some bread sticks to go with hearty soup during the colder months. When I was in Italy, some people wrap a piece of prosciutto around the stick.

[@arabesquewhyisthistakennow]

made breadsticks so long ago i forgot my kids like these..will make em tomorrow!! tx for reminding.. that dividing technique tho..you guys always amazed me with new things

[@Gladtobemom]

The lady that taught me to make them used to put rough ground green pepper and sesame seeds on them. Grissini are so easy and soooo yummy.

[@fredrikliljeblad1209]

[@fredrikliljeblad1209]

Thank you, and Harper, I really do like you, despsie my occasionally caustic comments. You know, I studied with Marcella Hazan, though she made me ceu on occasion, she taught mr to RESPECT Italian food.

[@rb-ex]

beautiful, including the choice of toppings. a couple words about the dough: 1) no matter what people believe about salt and yeast it is perfectly fine and less fussy to mix the dry instant yeast and salt into the flour, and then add water to the mixed dry ingredients-- no purpose is served by adding the yeast to water in this case or by adding the salt later, 2) you could follow this recipe except make a lean dough with only a tiny pinch of yeast (maybe 1/16 of a teaspoon or less), autolyse the rough mix for about an hour, followed by 3x stretch and folds 1/2 hr apart, then let proof in a coolish place overnight or longer depending on temperature. the long slow rise will allow enzymes to work on the starches and gluten you'll have an even more crunchy, aromatic and digestible result without all that kneading. thank you for sharing this and all your other fantastic italian cooking style and sensibilities

[@atitagain2788]

I was not expecting the literal twist at the end, I cannot wait to make some soon!

[@magpie5710]

Yummy! Nicely done Harper. Thank God for Eva though.

[@Hollis_has_questions]

Thank goodness! I’ve been to Torino, where I had grissini, so I never ever liked what Olive Garden called breadsticks: soft, puffy, relatively flavorless … and all you can eat. But who would want to eat even one of those cheap fillers, when grissini are light years better? It’s like a completely different food! Chopped garlic and Parmesan would also be great toppers IMO. Yes, Eva, garlic. Even za’atar would be fantastic. Hmm … ras el hanout? garam masala? jerk seasoning? And on and on. The possibilities are endless. Even dessert grissini, with cinnamon/cardamom sugar, pumpkin pie spice …

[@nodezsh]

Eva is completely fine with garlic. Just remember to remove the germ and use the right amount. Of course, she can't force you to use less than what you like. But removing the germ will make it taste delicious still, but not as pungent, no matter how much garlic you use.

[@Hollis_has_questions]

@@nodezsh “Pungent” means intense in flavor or odor. Eva is WAY sensitive to garlic’s pungent properties. I, otoh, am totally addicted to intense garlic flavor - as a child I often ate what my Russian immigrant grandparents had for breakfast: hard-crusted rye/pumpernickel bread rubbed with raw garlic dipped in kosher salt, along with coffee. The garlic that isn’t rubbed, is eaten raw. I don’t care if I smell like garlic - I have only myself to please, and it’s my perfume of choice (next to bacon).

[@nodezsh]

@@Hollis_has_questions Yeah but there's some specific characteristics of foods that in cooking are described as pungent. For example, garlic, onion, or the smell of soy sauce while it's being boiled for the first time before bottling. I don't know why that's the third example that came to mind. Anyways, if we compare those to durian, or stinky cheeses… They're all strong smells, but in completely different ways. I don't know if I'd call a stinky cheese pungent the way I'd call garlic pungent. The distinction is there, but it only applies to cooking, the same way tomatoes are fruits but we treat them as if they were vegetables when cooking them.

[@Hollis_has_questions]

@@nodezsh When I read “stinky cheese,” I immediately started salivating. True. It must be biochemical. Like with cilantro.
