Ingredients

Dairy

  • 3 Cups Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
  • 4 Tablespoons Cream Cheese
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter

Dry Ingredients

  • 2/3 Cup Coconut Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt

Other

  • 4 Eggs

Instructions

  1. Prepare All Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients required for making these gluten-free breadsticks to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. Melt Mozzarella: Shred the mozzarella cheese and place it into a nonstick pot. Heat gently and stir continuously with a spatula until the mozzarella is completely melted and smooth.
  3. Add Cream Cheese and Butter: Once mozzarella is melted and soft, add the butter and cream cheese to the pot. Turn off the heat and mix thoroughly until the mixture forms a consistent dough.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: With the heat off, gradually add the coconut flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and sea salt one by one. Blend well with a plastic spatula until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the dough is soft.
  5. Add Eggs: Add the eggs directly into the dough mixture and continue mixing until a cohesive dough forms.
  6. Shape and Let Dough Rest: Divide the dough into eight equal pieces. Shape each piece into a small bun and smooth them as needed for easier rolling. Let the dough rest at room temperature for 15-30 minutes to improve texture. Optionally, refrigerate if the dough is too sticky to handle.
  7. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 218°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat.
  8. Roll and Season Breadsticks: Roll each dough bun into a log shape and place them spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle additional Italian herbs and coarse salt on top, and optionally brush with melted butter for extra flavor and browning.
  9. Bake: Bake the breadsticks for approximately 15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving your freshly baked gluten-free breadsticks.

Notes

  • Resting the dough helps make shaping easier and improves the breadsticks’ texture.
  • You can customize the seasoning by adding more garlic powder or other herbs such as rosemary or thyme.
  • Store leftover breadsticks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • For a crispier crust, brush the breadsticks with melted butter midway through baking.
  • Ensure mozzarella is fully melted to achieve the right dough consistency.
