Ingredients

For the Breadstick Dough:

For the Topping:

  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • For the Glaze
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 to 3 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the gluten-free flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast and salt. Mix to combine.
  • With the mixer running on low, slowly add the water and oil. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat for 5 minutes.
  • Using an oiled spatula, scoop the dough into a medium-sized oiled bowl. (I usually rub a tablespoon of oil on the side and bottom of the bowl so the dough doesn’t stick while it rises.)
  • Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1 ½ hours, until doubled in size.
  • Meanwhile, place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat the oven to 475F. Let the pizza stone preheat for at least 20 minutes.
  • Spray a large piece of parchment paper (about the size of a baking sheet) with cooking spray. Using oiled or wet hands, press the dough into a long rectangle that is ⅓ inch thick. Let rise for another 10 minutes.
  • Slide the parchment paper on the pizza stone and bake for 10-15 minutes. Remove the parchment paper/dough from the oven and spread the melted butter over the dough. Sprinkle the sugar and then the cinnamon over the butter.
  • Slide the dough off the parchment paper onto the baking stone and cook for another 5-10 minutes, until golden brown and crisp on the bottom.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes then slice in half the long way, and then into 1 to 1 ½ inch strips.
  • Whisk together the ingredients for the glaze. Drizzle or serve with the glaze for dipping. Enjoy!

Notes

CAPUTO FIOREGLUT FLOUR - This recipe uses caputo fioreglut gluten-free flour. This is a special type of flour imported straight for Italy (you can buy it Amazon here!).
It is made with gluten-free wheat starch that has been completely removed of gluten. This flour makes the MOST AMAZING gluten-free bread I’ve ever baked.
DO NOT substitute the Caputo Fioreglut gluten-free flour for gluten-free 1:1 baking flour. This recipe will only turn out with that specific flour. Trust me though - it's worth it!
I have celiac disease and don’t react to this flour. Just know while it is gluten-free, it isn’t wheat free.
ONE RISE - I like to use Saf instant yeast and mix it in with dry ingredients. This works beautifully and makes the recipe so quick and easy, since it only needs one rise!
RECIPE NOTES
  • I love adding a drizzle of glaze to the top of these breadsticks. It makes them more like cinnamon rolls and is SO delicious! But feel free to skip it, or use the glaze as a dipping sauce!
  • Remember that these breadsticks only need one rise, so you can have fresh, homemade breadsticks in under two hours!
