Ingredients

• 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, xanthan gum, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir to mix well.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, egg, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or using a stand mixer on low speed. Mix until the dough forms a smooth and slightly sticky ball.

Step 4

Lightly oil a clean bowl with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, gently deflate it and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.

Step 7

Roll each piece into a 6-8 inch rope and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each breadstick.

Step 8

Cover the breadsticks with a towel and let them rise again for 10 minutes.

Step 9

In a small saucepan, melt the butter and mix in the garlic powder and dried parsley.

Step 10

Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Then, brush them with half of the garlic butter mixture.

Step 11

Continue baking for another 7-10 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown.

Step 12

Remove the breadsticks from the oven and immediately brush them with the remaining garlic butter. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
