Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 3.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir to dissolve and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients, pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the well. Mix with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together.

Step 4

Lightly knead the dough in the bowl until it is smooth. It may be slightly sticky, which is normal for gluten-free dough.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a log about 7-8 inches long to form the breadsticks.

Step 8

Arrange the breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet with some space between them, as they will expand during baking.

Step 9

Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Once the breadsticks are out of the oven, immediately brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture.

Step 12

Allow the breadsticks to cool slightly and serve warm.
