Serve alongside our Black-Tahini and Eggplant Dip for the spookiest Halloween appetizer. Ingredients 1 pound store-bought or homemade pizza dough, room temperature ½ teaspoon squid ink Extra-virgin olive oil, for bowl Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting Directions Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Divide dough in half; set one portion aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment, beat other half of dough and squid ink on medium speed until well combined. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand 15 minutes. Transfer dough-ink mixture to a lightly floured work surface and pat into a 4-by-12-inch rectangle (a scant 1/2 inch thick). Cut off a 1/2-inch piece of dough and roll into a thin log, 12 inches long. Transfer to a baking sheet, making irregular bends in dough. Repeat with rest of inked dough, then with reserved plain dough, to fill two sheets with breadsticks, 1 inch apart. Bake until firm and crisp, about 18 minutes. Transfer to wire racks; let cool completely. Grissini can be wrapped in plastic and stored at room temperature up to 1 day; recrisp in a 400 degrees oven before serving, 5 minutes. Cook's Notes Squid ink is available at Italian retailers or at amazon.com. If pizza dough is frozen, be sure to let it thaw completely before using. Variations To bake only white grissini, omit the squid ink and skip the mixing step. Rate it Print
