Prosciutto Breadsticks Recipes

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line a heavy large baking sheet with a silpat (nonstick baking mat) or parchment paper. Tear the dough along the perforations into strips. Using a pizza cutter or a large sharp knife, cut each dough strip in half lengthwise to form thin strips. Working with 1 dough strip at a time, roll each dough strip in the Parmesan cheese and twist. Transfer the dough strips to the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake until the breadsticks are golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes. Cool the breadsticks completely on the baking sheet.
• Before serving, wrap 1 slice of prosciutto around each cooled breadstick. Arrange the prosciutto-wrapped breadsticks on a platter.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Wrap 1 slice of prosciutto around each breadstick, leaving 5 to 6 inches of exposed bread at one end.

BREADSTICKS WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In the bowl of a food processor pulse flour, salt and baking powder to combine. Add the shortening and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. With machine running, gradually add between 1/2 and 3/4 cup ice water until the dough comes together, about 1 minute.
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Form into a smooth rectangle, about 4 by 6 inches, with your fingers. Then roll out the dough into an 8 by 10-inch sheet, 1/4-inch thick. Cut dough lengthwise into 1/4-inchwide strips.
• Using your hands, gently roll each strip back and forth into 16-inch long sticks. For the twisted version, grab each end of the dough strip with your fingers and carefully stretch and twist the strip in opposite directions. Arrange sticks on 2 baking sheets, side by side but not touching. Lightly brush with olive oil. Press ends onto the baking sheet to keep the sticks straight while they bake.
• Bake until firm and cooked through, 14 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Wrap a slice of prosciutto around each breadstick. Arrange on a platter and serve.

PROSCIUTTO TRUFFLE BUTTER BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Mix parsley, chives, salt and white pepper with softened butter and truffle oil, then spread on a flat plate. Dip each breadstick in butter mixture so that 3/4 of the stick is covered to hold prosciutto in place. Roll in Parmesan, then wrap a slice of prosciutto over the buttered 3/4 length of each stick, leaving a dry end of stick for guests to serve themselves.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED BREADSTICKS WITH FIG

Steps:

• Make the fig spread:
• In a small saucepan simmer the figs in the Port and the water with the sugar, covered, for 20 minutes and simmer the mixture, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced to about 1 tablespoon. In a food processor (preferably small) purée the fig mixture with the mustard and the lemon juice and transfer the spread to a small bowl. The fig spread may be made 1 week in advance, kept covered and chilled, and allowed to return to room temperature.
• Working with 1 prosciutto slice at a time, spread one side of each slice with 1/2 teaspoon of the fig spread, fold the slice lengthwise into a thin strip, and wrap it in a spiral around 1 of the breadsticks. The breadsticks should be wrapped no more than 30 minutes in advance.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED GRISSINI

Steps:
