  1. Breadstick

    Breadsticks, also known as grissini, grissino or dipping sticks, (ghërsin in Piedmontese: [gəɾˈsiŋ]) 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.

  1. Breadstick

    Breadsticks are generally pencil-sized sticks of crisp, dry bread originating in Turin and the surrounding area in Italy. They are originally thought to have been created in the 14th century; although according to a local tradition, they were invented by a baker in Lanzo Torinese in 1679. Breadsticks may be offered at the table in restaurants as an appetizer, in some instances or regions they may be a type that is larger than pencil-sized. They may also be combined with ingredients such as prosciutto as an hors d'œuvre. Regions that consume breadsticks include the Americas, Europe, and parts of Asia. Pre-made, dried breadsticks may sometimes be sold in markets as a kind of snack or a pre-meal appetizer for home use, somewhat similar to a cracker. Another recipe for breadsticks, called rosquilletas, exists in Castelló de la Plana.
