How to Make GRISSINI | The Real Italian Breadsticks 

These breadsticks may not be unlimited, but they're sure delicious and we hope you try them! What recipe should I learn from Eva next?

The beauty of this channel is that, even if it's aimed to non-italians, it's perfectly enjoyable by us, inhabitants of the Boot. Being entertained by the extreme italianness and "calabresity"" of Eva aside, she is always able to teach me something new, may it be a new dish that was lost in the big tangle of italian regionalism or techniques, that she portrays with such genuine manner. Of course, Harper's wonder, curiosity and will to learn make this show too, alongside his humor: you make a great duo. Big hugs to what became one of my favourite among all cooking channels! A fan from Rome.

"The more you put, the more you will find" is a great Eva catch phrase. Love it.

Eva, I love your Italian-ness! You make my heart smile!!

OMG you guys can grow rosmarino in Arizona in the garden or patio! Molti anni fa, I tried to make bread and it was a disaster. Came out like a brick. I was traumatized. You guys inspire me to try agai n I think because Eva's approach is so natural.

Harper, PLEEEEASE take Eva to Olive Garden! Eva, you will not even make it through the front door! 🤢😂

The lady that taught me to make them used to put rough ground green pepper and sesame seeds on them. Grissini are so easy and soooo yummy.

I am really looking forward to seeing an episode of pasta grammar where Eva tries Olive Garden 😂

Look amazing 👏

I actually don't like olive garden breadsticks!! This looks like a wonderful alternative!!!!😂😋💕

Cool! My family is from Piemonte!!! These look delicious and I’m going to try them soon! Hopefully it will make my Bisnonno proud! 💗

I love κριτσίνι(grissini)! ❤❤❤

I can't wait for the olive garden episode!!

I'd like to see a video of you taking Eva to Olive Garden and her tasting some of the dishes there.

Crunchy! Like an Italian pretzel? Mamma mia!

They are very popular in Greece 🇬🇷. 🇬🇷♥️🇮🇹

Eva, this is amazing! I’ve tried to make breadsticks before; never succeeded in getting this long crunchy sticks. So I can’t wait to try this!!! Could you please be so kind as to tell us where to find such a long lovely straight mattarello?.💛🧡❤️

Somewhere, an Arizona Olive Garden cook just started sweating.

Thank u .... love breadsticks 🥰🥰

I loved it. I’m going to try preparing them. Thank you

Woo Hoo! We love breadsticks! Going to give them a shot!

OMG I'll make em 😍

Congratulations on the short Channel

Attenta Eva chist' t'à rubb'ò mestier......😂😂😂😂😂 Complimenti.

You should take Eva to Olive Garden. In addition to myself, there are others who would like to see her reaction especially to specific in-person aspects of Olive Garden.

Harper you should TOTALLY bring Eva to an olive garden and make an old school reaction video 🤣🤣🤣

Eva at an Olive Garden would be comedy gold. It would be torture for her, though 😂😂😂😂

I'm sure you were doing well as a bachelor, but man, you hit the jackpot with her.

Awww, now I miss my grandmother's grissini. I'm not sure I even have her recipe . . . . so I'll just have to use Eva's instead! Harper, if you think Eva's breadsticks are thin, you should see the Italian breadsticks my mom buys -- about the thickness of a coffee stirrer and so crunchy they shatter if you tap them.

Just a thought. At the 13 minute mark, the bread had been prepped to be separated and dredged in corn flour. Could you not just leave the bread as it sits, sprinkle corn flour on top, then place the whole tray in the oven?

When they come out of oven. Can you hit them with grated Parmesan? And dip in Marinara :)

I’m surprised Harper hasn’t subjected Eva to “food” at Olive Garden. Maybe the result is just too predictable. ;-). (A couple of months ago, I actually went for the first time ever, I suppose out of morbid curiosity. It was like Chef Boyardee, but with waiters.)

IM DYING TO SEE EVA EATING IN OLIVE GARDEN!!!!!!!!!!

Eva, come to Houston, we have fresh yeast at the stores just like in Italy 🤭🤭🤭 and you can ding anything here, guanciale among those..

What if I make a lot of them? How to properly store for later(few next days)?

Hi Pasta Grammar, is there any difference in making Grissini and Taralli?

There ya go: next video - Trip to Olive Garden

Plain grissini good to scoop nutella I bet Eva did this already.lol

I've been hoping for a trip to Olive Garden with Eva. I don't understand why anyone in my town goes there when we have real Italian food. Even the worst authentic Italian restaurant is better than Olive Garden. Same with Papa John's pizza, it's straight trash. I don't say anything bad about the local franchise because the owner is super nice, but compared to NY Italian pizza it's world's apart.

15-20 min at 175? Thanks

At times I feel sorry for Harper..remembering myself with my Italian Wife yelling at me.. !

What part of Italy is Eva from? I’m curious to know at what age she started learning English.

💞💞❤️Evelina❤️💞💞

Finally something vegan 🌱 who expected this 😱😱😱😱😱

I see a trip to the Olive Garden coming up soon! Hahaa. And don’t forget to have an ambulance in the parking lot for Eva when the “experience” becomes too much for her!!! 😉

for the sole purpose of science, we need to bring Eva to Olive Garden.

is no one mentioning that they just made the Italian flag with the toppings before cutting und stretching ? rosemary=green/sesame seeds=white/olives=red(kind of :))

!/2 of my Itaian ancestors are from Piemonte, the Italian province wherein lies Torino. When we had big family holiday gatherings, there were always "Grising" at the table, even the separate small table for us little ones. We loved them not only because they were crunchy and delicious, especially when wrapped with a slice of Mortadella or prosciutto, but also because we could karate-chop them and they would break off pieces, flying across the table and wacking into each other. A nice change from flipping olives at each other. Our folks never seemed to understand how fun this was, reminding us how lucky we were not to be starving like the poor kids in some distant foreign land.

I love Eva’s “I married this man” face when Harper makes the joke about us smelling the rosemary 🤣

I love Eva's facial expressions when Harper tries make her laugh with his jokes.... every Italian knows that face and what she is saying. We just cannot hide our feelings. lol

Never have I ever had homemade grassini before. I am definitely making these! I agree with you Harper. I think you would blow away any dinner guest if you bring out homemade breadsticks. Great job again Harper. Bravo! 👏🏻👍🏻

Don’t you dare take her to the Olive Garden. I did that with my Sicilian mom once. And she said to me “don’t ever ever ever take me there again”. I told this to my Latina friends. They were incensed. They looked at me and said, “Hey I never take my mom to Taco Bell what possessed you to take your mom to Olive Garden?” They never met mom but I’ll tell you they were my case for at least a month.

No doubt your bread sticks are much better than any Olive Garden imitation

Don't take her to Olive Garden, instead get a bunch of Olive Garden takeout and try it and home so we can see her reactions.

Excellent instructions. My coooking teacher in Italy went through the recipe so quickly and made it seem so complicated, eith endless steps, that I was scared off making them. And never mastered what I now understand to be a quite simple process that I'm confident I can do. I too have difficulty digesting soft white bread, but have no difficulty with crunchy toasted variations like this. So I am looking forward to making these. Thank you!

And Napoleone Bonaparte was fond of grissini. Once he discovered them, during his missions in Italy, he always wanted them.on his table for his meals!

Goodness the crunch sound, sounds wonderful!!!! Thank you Harper and Eva!!!

Chère Eva, tu es un génie! Pour les grissini, j'ai le choix entre farine à pain A) blanche B) blé entier bio C) blé intégral bio. Qu'est-ce que je dois privilégier pour obtenir le goût le plus authentique? MERCI à toi et Harper. Vous écouter, toujours un grand Bonheur! Vous pouvez répondre en anglais. Je le lis mais ne sais pas l'écrire. Je suis prof. de français . Bisous.

Great Videos Guys. It reminds me of my childhood. I'm from France, and back in the days, we used to live in Nizza, close to the Italian Border. Sometimes my parents went to San Remo or Vintimiglia and we always brought back some Grissinis. It's so light and tasty that you can eat quite a bunch of it, which is great for kids

Thus is the best recipe I have ever found in RU-vid. I’ve been looking for this forever. Thank you Eva and Harper for this recipe.

Took me way longer than I'd like to admit to notice that you'd made the Italian flag with your toppings 🇮🇹😅.

Every time an Italian goes to Olive Garden, an angel loses their wings. 😢 🇮🇹 🚫 🫒 🪴 🥖

Da italiano io ho sentito solo storie dell'orrore riguardo OliveGarden😂😂

We really want to see Eva go to Olive Garden!

made breadsticks so long ago i forgot my kids like these..will make em tomorrow!! tx for reminding.. that dividing technique tho..you guys always amazed me with new things

OMG if you do take Eva to olive garden: 1) call a priest for your final rights, 2) film it

1 of the things I love about this channel is how often I see something that is a flashback to my childhood. This time it is the rolling pin, it reminded me of the 1 that my Italian grandfather used to make egg noodles.

Eva no! Don't go to Olive Garden. Your taste buds don't deserve that type of torture. 😪

6:56. Qui quando Harper dice….”Is Mattarello time”…..nei sottotitoli è apparso…..”is Mozzarella time” . 😂 PS: si vede che i sottotitoli il mattarello ancora non lo conoscono. 😉

The classic grissini of Torino are longer as Eva said and they are without any topping, but you do a great job. In Torino you can also find grissini easily with sesame and rosemary. Grissini with olives are rare.

Olive garden makes food that's acceptable across the entire US. It's sales are $3.8 billion. If you go to a typical "Italian" restaurant across Europe, you'll find the food comparable to any in the US, but not the same as in many Italian towns..

Delicious, easy and also vegan! The best! I'll try to put some fennel seeds and chilli flakes :) Thanks guys!

It doesn’t work out right if you don’t use the wooden spoon that makes it all Italian :)

I made these for NYE a few years ago but after they were baked I wrapped them in bacon & sprinkled them with brown sugar & hot peppers and baked them again. They were a HUGE hit.

Oh snap… PG goin to OG! The universe will fold in on itself (and it will be a very entertaining reaction video).

Eva, if you have the misfortune to eat at Olive Garden, you should have a batch of these to take along. Would be the best part of the meal 🤣 I'm making these this weekend since Boston is expecting a lot of snow. They look amazing! EVERYTHING you guys make looks amazing!

you both look like you just woke up and did this video

I can smell the rosemary and it smells nice just like me😎😁

Can you guys please make passatelli??

Eva resisti evita olive garden!!!! Comunque i vostri grissini sembrano buonissimi 🤤!!!!

I love how Eva clarifies the English language for us. It used to be that food was moist. Eva taught us that it's actually moisty... creamy, tasty, moisty... I didn't know that before. And it used to be that "some" was an indeterminate amount. Now we all know exactly how much "some" is. I just live in fear that one day the Italians will want her back.

Is there an age difference between you two?

I want to be able to smell the roseberry. that needs to be a thing.

I would do everything grisini like everything bagels

Ciao Eva! I grissini sono originari di Lanzo, un paese fuori Torino, dove abito! Si può pure trovare una placca che celebra i grissini e la sua storia nel luogo in cui sono nati! Bellissimo video, grazie mille ❤️

These are wonderful! And Harper, you are a better cook than you let on!

I feel like she was a character from The Princess Bride that I somehow forgot about till now. Great vid, folks.

Wow! That's so great! Im excited to try ❤ thank you so much ❤

I must admit that in my laziness, I’ve sometimes made grissini from leftover storebought pizzadough (which I don’t use for pizza, but for small «pies» filled with spinach etc) when I don’t have energy etc to make homemade dough… Not too bad, at least much better than factory/machine made grissini. Oh, BTW: PS! You said : «Breadsticks?» (as in what is plural) Of course it is «breadsticks». The Italian American grammar can’t possibly be «one breadsticko», «many breadsticki», can it? ☺️🤓😉👏👏👏☺️🤗

I always make some bread sticks to go with hearty soup during the colder months. When I was in Italy, some people wrap a piece of prosciutto around the stick.

I've made these probably 10 times already. I make them little thinner, I get about 50 bread sticks. Everyone who tries them can't get enough. One suggestion - don't cut up the entire dough all at once. By the time you get to the 20th bread stick, the dough has risen some and the cuts are gone. I cut 1-2 bread sticks at a time. It works great. Also, I fill one tray, let it bake and in the 18-20 minutes it takes to bake, I have the other tray ready. Question - how would you make these with sourdough? I have a nephew who can't eat regular bread but loves sourdough. Your comment would be greatly appreciated.

Just don't bring Eva there on a special day..Anniversary, birthday, st. Valentine's day....if you want to remain married..lol

At my Local Olive Garden my goto is the Five Cheese Ziti al Forno. I ask them to add Gorgonzola Cheese. Soo many flavors mixed together. I'm drooling just thinking about it.

Eva, I have a serious question. In Italy if you have celiacs disease or gluten intolerance(which isnt as common as it is in the U.S.) how do people accommodate that in restaurants or at home with traditional authentic Italian foods that call for pasta and bread? Thank you in advance, I hope you don't think this a stupid question. 😞 Don't go to Olive Garden its TERRBLE! You will be angry at Harper for a long time. 🙄😂

I’ve had the opportunity to go to Ireland, Scotland, England, Greece, and Belize…. What you find is that in America they have ruined our food, our ancestors came from all over and yet soo many traditional foods and recipes have been ‘lost’, I love to cook and bake at home, if I was better at it I’d love to open a classic pastry shop in America, where you can buy fresh bread that doesn’t have red dye 40 in it or bromine, where you can buy fresh baklava(which I do know how to make), not only has our food been bastardized but our ingredients are subpar😞 clotted cream is a norm in the UK, here it’s $8 for like 3 ounces, our olive oils are cut with rapeseed oil😞 I love channels like this, I hope we Americans will get back into the kitchen and learn to cook for our families, start a food revolution! Oh, in England their box Mac and cheese is all natural, the labeling laws over their would require them to state that the synthetic colors cause behavioral problems in children and can cause cancer so they remade it, and it tastes the same! We are being poisoned😞

PLEASE dont take her to Olive Garden. it is gross, and NOT italian food.... if you love her dont take her there.. blesssings

Olive garden is not food don't fall for it Eva. It's disgustingly yucky ucky. I went once. Like every Italian restraunt withing 100 miles of me.

I won’t pretend to be a cook that is anything close to Eva’s cooking. But, before Eva came to the US, I was considered a very good cook. I made my own pasta and would fill ravioli with the kinds of things that I kept in my house, but not necessarily the things one might find in Italy. It worked for us and was very much enjoyed by our friends. I would hear people bragging that they had dinner at my house. But, like I said, my cooking would not/did not/does not hold a candle to Eva’s cooking and the food she creates. I don’t know this but I suspect that you have friends who live close by. Or you have neighbors who are friends. You have had a dinner party or two, surely! How do people react to Eva’s cooking? Do they brag to others about being one of the chosen few? Do they avoid having you over for dinner at their place, fearing that they could not create a meal close to what Eva could do? Or do they compete and frequently up the ante, trying to impress Eva with their creations? What types of foods, if any, does Eva enjoy having near you that is something other than Italian? Or Eva’s REAL Italian? Did you take her to Olive Garden? Is there an Italian place in the US that she likes? Great video! Did you cook before Eva? You are becoming increasingly more competent in the kitchen! I am impressed!

No. Garlic butter drench and ranch dressing? Thank God hahahahaha. I've made many recipe. From ya'll. Always forget to take pictures. I'm too poor to afford a bank account donation and all that stuff anyway. And do t know how to attach n send email. Stuff n things. But Eva sure upped my Italian game. My favorite ethnic food

Eva's never been to Olive Garden!? Y'all should totally make a video of how much Olive Garden is NOT good Italian!
