Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Gluten Free
Serves: 12 breadsticks
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended.
- Add the Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and mix using a spatula or wooden spoon until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. If using fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme, fold them into the dough at this stage.
- Lightly dust a clean work surface with additional gluten-free flour to prevent sticking. Transfer the dough onto the surface and gently knead for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion between your palms and then on the work surface to create long, thin breadstick shapes approximately 6-7 inches long.
- Arrange the breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each stick to allow for even baking.
- Brush each breadstick with olive oil, which will help create a golden, crispy exterior. Optionally, sprinkle with additional salt or herbs for extra flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and crisp on the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving. The breadsticks can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- Use Greek yogurt at room temperature for the best dough consistency and easier mixing.
- Don't overwork the dough - gentle kneading prevents tough breadsticks.
- For extra crispiness, ensure your breadsticks are uniformly thin and have some space between them on the baking sheet.
- Experiment with different herb combinations like rosemary, thyme, or even a sprinkle of parmesan for varied flavors.
- Store cooled breadsticks in an airtight container for up to 3 days, and reheat briefly in the oven to restore crispness.
- If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more gluten-free flour, but do so sparingly to maintain moisture.
