Grissini
Sophia Handschuh, the Thermomix Baking Blogger, shared this recipe at her cooking classes when on tour in Australia and they were a hit! Consider them a 'choose your own adventure' recipe... you can make either crunchy grissini or breadsticks with a crunchy crust but a slightly chewy centre, depending on how thin you roll them out. If you want them crunchy, roll them out as thin as a pencil and up to 30cm long.
