Gluten Free Breadsticks
These gluten free breadsticks are crusty on the outside like a baguette. Made with sourdough starter or yeast, you will love how easy these breadsticks are to make.
Ingredients
- ½ cup sourdough starter
- 3 cups gluten free flour blend * see note
- 2 cups purified water
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons butter or vegan butter
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add 1/2 cup sourdough starter, 2 cups flour, baking powder, salt, and 2 cups water. Mix well.
- Cover with a clean towel and let rise overnight. You can rise 4 hours if you are making it during the day.
- Add 1 cup flour and mix. Add flour until you have a dough you can work with your hands without the dough sticking to everything. You don't want the dough too firm.
- Break pieces of dough off and roll like snakes into 1 inch thick breadsticks.
- Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Allow rising an hour.
- If you want plain breadsticks, brush an egg wash over each dough stick and then sprinkle with some salt.
- If you want garlic breadsticks, brush the dough sticks with melted butter and garlic salt.
- Preheat the oven to 425º F.
- Put the tray into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Baking time will vary on how thick you make your breadsticks.
Notes
If you don't have a sourdough starter going, you can make this gluten free breadsticks recipe using a packet of yeast.
- Pour a packet of yeast into 1/2 cup of warm water. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar. Let sit 5 minutes until it froths.
- Add 2 cups of flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt to a large bowl. Whisk to blend.
- Pour the yeast mixture and 1 3/4 cups of water into the flour. Mix well. For this rise, you want your mixture to be a little wet.
- Allow rising 2 hours.
- Add 1 1/2 cups flour to the bowl and mix. You want your dough to be stiff enough to roll.
- Roll the breadsticks as directed above and allow to rise 1 hour. Bake according to the regular sourdough directions.
SPECIAL NOTE
Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
