How to Make Gluten Free Sourdough Breadsticks
As for making these gluten free sourdough breadsticks, the method couldn’t be easier. Just add the ingredients to the bowl, mix and then turn the dough out onto your bench or pastry mat, lightly floured with more gfJules Flour.
Don’t use too much flour or it will difficult to roll the dough into sticks.
Divide the dough evenly into eight pieces, then just gently roll into logs the length and width you’d prefer for your gluten free breadsticks.

Ingredients
- 2 cups (270 grams) gfJules™ All Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup 26 grams milk powder (dairy or non-dairy like coconut milk powder) OR gluten free Vanilla Pudding Mix like Jell-o Brand (will make bread sweeter) OR plain GF mashed potato flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (use 1/4 teaspoon if using salted butter)
- 1/4 cup (2 ounces) butter or vegan butter OR vegetable shortening OR solid virgin coconut oil

- 3 Tablespoons honey OR pure maple syrup OR agave nectar
- 2 large eggs OR egg substitute (like 2 Tbs. flaxseed meal steeped in 6 Tbs. warm water)
- 1 cup active fed gluten free sourdough starter
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Cut the butter ingredient into small pieces and cut into the dry ingredients with a dough paddle attachment on a stand electric mixer or a pastry blender by hand. Leave small pebble-size pieces throughout, so don't over-mix.

To Make Gluten Free Breadsticks:
- Dust a clean counter or baking mat lightly with gfJules™ Flour. Dust your hands with a little more of this flour as well. Divide dough into 8 equal pieces (measure and cut with a bench scraper, as pictured). Grab a chunk of the wet dough, rolling it gently in the flour into the shape you desire. Don't put too much gluten free flour on the dough, or it will be difficult to roll.
- Lay the sticks onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Cover with parchment and let rise in a warm location for 30 minutes - 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350° F (static) or 325° F (convection).
- Bake for 7-8 minutes until the tops are lightly browned and the dough has risen (may need slightly more time for static temp. bake). A toothpick inserted into the sticks should come out dry. Do not over-bake.
- Remove to cool on a wire rack.
