Italian Grissini / homemade soup sticks / bread sticks These beautiful, delicious almost piquant bread sticks are a perfect replacement for deep fried croutons. They are a notch up from our regular soup sticks. I didn’t miss those croutons. If you make these at home, you will adore them too. You are sure to munch on them without soup, when you bake them at home. These soup sticks are crunchy, crispy packed with flavours of garlic and rosemary.
