A few days ago, I decided to make a recipe from Daniel Leader's Local Breads called Rosemary Breadsticks. It is a variation of a Rosemary Filone where the dough is shaped into sticks rather than loaves. I halved the quantities and got the nice breadsticks in the photo. As it happens every time you bake something with rosemary, the kitchen was full of a nice aroma.
These are not the typical crisp grissini I used to eat in Italy. Those are going to be my next bread-baking project. Stay tuned.
And stay tuned also for the return of Black and White Wednesday – A Culinary Photography Event created by Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook. After a few weeks hiatus, Susan is back blogging. She has hinted at changes to the structure of her popular photo event when it starts again. While waiting for the details, I am getting back into the habit of sharing a black and white photo.
The photo was shot in color and then converted to sepia.
sono entrata e uscita un paio di volte…credevo di aver sbagliato blog ^_____^ e ora per i grissini mi metto in stay tuned ;-)) pronta per il pic nic di pasquetta californiana ?
Mmmm, they look delicious. I have lots of rosemary which I would like to use and they bread sticks look perfect. You are right that the house smells wonderful when baking with rosemary.
Love your breadsticks! Yum!
Ciao Marta. Se ci riesco, magari li provo domani. Il giorno di Pasquetta qui non e’ festa, quindi niente picnic 🙁 In realta’ potremmo anche farlo, dopo il lavoro, ma se non migliora il tempo, non e’ una prospettiva invitante.
Ciao Ivy. My rosemary bush is quite large and I like to harvest sprigs from it. Bread flavored with rosemary is really nice.
Ciao Paz. They were yummy and were consumed fairly quickly.
Beautiful, Simona. I always enjoy the sepia touches of your photographs. BWW will return for sure on Wednesday after Easter. Thanks for the kind shout-out. : }
Simo, chi troppo chi niente, noi qui nel nord-est siamo in piena siccità, il lago è giù di un metro e mezzo e il lago d’Iseo ha sospeso il passaggio di alcuni battelli perchè troppo basso e potrebbero toccare in certi punti…..oggi sembrava fosse arrivato il momento e invece pur rimanendo nuvoloso ha già smesso di piovere……comunque, son contenta perchè oggi al mercato ho trovato le biete rosse ^_____^ ciao, bacio.
Buona Pasqua Simona!!!
I saw grissini in our store so often I had to buy them 😀 I can say I’m in love with them and therefore I can’t wait to read your grissini posts! The photo is beautiful as always 🙂
Thanks Susan for the kind words and for the alert. I hope to have something worthy of the inaugural day 😉
Ciao Marta. Ouch! Non sapevo che la situazione fosse cosi’ drammatica. E’ vero che ogni giorno Brii pubblica foto di cieli azzurri… Il problema qui non e’ tanto la pioggia per se’, dal momento che sappiamo di vivere in una zona dove piove molto, ma il fatto che sta piovendo in ritardo ed e’ un problema per i raccolti. Viva le bietole rosse!
Grazie Baol, anche a te. E Buona Pasquetta!
Thanks, Catalina! As a kid, I loved grissini, so I am excited about making them at home.
