Gluten-Free Breadsticks

It’s easy to make your own fresh from the oven,  garlic and herb gluten-free breadsticks at home.

There are few things quite as irresistible as soft breadsticks fresh from the oven.  If you’ve ever devoured a basket of them at a restaurant before the meal has even arrived then you know what I’m talking about.  

But while most breadsticks you’ll find at restaurants are regrettably gluten-filled, you can make you own irresistibly soft and chewy gluten-free breadsticks at home in about 30 minutes!

Sometimes you just need a slice of bread with dinner, something to dip into a warm bowl of soup or to soak up that extra sauce with, that’s when these garlic and herb breadsticks come in handy. 

It’s a no-knead, no-yeast dough which means it’s a no fuss, no wait kind of bread that can be made at a moment’s notice. With just a few minutes you can have a batch in the oven ready to be devoured by the time dinner is ready.

How to make gluten-free breadsticks:

1. Making the dough is quite simple; all you need are a bowl and a spoon.  The dough is an almond flour and tapioca based one that is quickly stirred together with some oil and water then poured into a pan and drizzled with a flavorful garlic and herb topping.  Instead of yeast which requires proofing and waiting, a combination of baking soda and baking powder gives the bread immediate lift. 
2. While delicious plain, it’s the topping that makes these breadsticks extra irresistible. The topping is a mixture of olive oil, garlic, parsley, oregano and a pinch of red pepper for heat.  It sinks into the bread as it bakes giving it a rich flavor and soft texture.
3. Baked until lightly golden the bread is then cooled slightly and cut lengthwise into sticks before serving.  Enjoy the breadsticks as an appetizer with a side of your favorite marinara sauce or alongside a meal.
