Prosciutto-Arugula Breadstick

Categories     Bake     Arugula     Prosciutto

Yield serves: 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 pound prosciutto, thinly sliced
1/2 pound baby arugula

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Put the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, cayenne, and rosemary in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the milk, lemon juice, and olive oil; using a fork, gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry until a dough forms.
  • Put the dough on a well-floured work surface, shape it into a ball, and, using the heels of your hands, knead it for about a minute. If the dough sticks, sprinkle it with a bit of flour.
  • Roll the dough in a log and cut it into about twenty-four 1-inch pieces. Using both hands, roll each piece of dough into a 7-inch rope; don't worry if they're not all exactly the same. Put them on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake the breadsticks until golden and crispy, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let the little lovelies cool.
  • Cut the prosciutto slices in half widthwise and lay a few arugula leaves in a bunch on one end of each slice. Put the end of a breadstick on the arugula and roll up the arugula and prosciutto, pressing lightly to secure-the finished product should look like a wacky little broom! Repeat with all the breadsticks.
  • note
  • When rolling out the grissini, don't worry if the ropes aren't perfectly shaped; you want them a bit knobby in places-it's more rustic!
