These sound fantastic! What’s the best way to store these and how long will they keep? Thanks!
How many grams of yeast are in one packet? Thanks!
Just checked the packets in my fridge. 7 grams each. 🙂
(and I just updated the recipe with that info — thanks!)
Dara – Great to meet you, too! 🙂 I’d think these would also be fun to make with kids?
Gardenatrix – I haven’t had a chance to try making these grissini yet, but they sure do seem super-easy. Got some whole wheat dough in the fridge right now (using the Healthy Bread in Five technique)… next round will be grissini, for sure!
These look great! I’ve been wanting little home-made snacks and have been making more homemade tortillas than usual; I’ll have to get these into the mix!
What an easy recipe for grissini. These would be very popular in our house – great soup-dipping! I appreciate that they are made with whole wheat flour.
It was good to meet you this weekend at BlogHer.
