Breadsticks, also known as grissini, grissino or dipping sticks, (Piedmontese: ghërsin, Шаблон:IPA-pms) are generally pencil-sized sticks of crisp, dry baked bread that originated in Piedmont, a region of Italy. There is also a soft-baked breadstick version popular in North America.
History
It is believed that the breadstick originated in 1643, when a Florentine abbot described a long-shaped and "bone-thin" bread being made in Lanzo Torinese, a town outside of Turin.[1][2] Tradition states, however, that it originated in the region of Piedmont in the 17th century, invented by a baker called Antonio Brunero, from Turin. It was a food that was intended to be easier to digest for the Duke Victor Amadeus II of Savoy, who had digestive problems in his childhood.[3][4][5][6]
Serving
In Italian restaurants, breadsticks are often offered as an appetiser, especially in their traditional shape, together with or replacing bread, which is commonly provided with all meals. They may also be combined with ingredients such as prosciutto. This appears to be the case with restaurants in the United States as well;[7] in some instances or regions, they may be a type that is larger than pencil-sized, as well as soft instead of hard.
While traditional grissini are plain, in the past decades there has been a push from industrial manufacturers who started exploring other flavours and shapes; examples include cumin, cheese, oregano and sesame, as well as grissini with salt crystals on the surface. These are often not the traditional pencil-thin grissini, but larger, thicker versions which are more suited for incorporating other ingredients and flavours.
In many North American restaurants, breadsticks are soft, frequently topped with butter, garlic, and cheese when served as appetizers; as a dessert item, they can be topped with cinnamon, sugar,[8] and icing.[9]
Pre-made, dried breadsticks can be found being sold in markets as a quick snack or a pre-meal appetizer for home use, somewhat similar to a cracker. In Italy they are often consumed as a snack on their own, but in the United States they are usually served with a dip of some sort, such as cheese.[10]
Another recipe for breadsticks, called rosquilletas, exists in Comunitat Valenciana.[11]
