Ingredients
How do I make gluten-free dough?
* 2 1/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose Flour Blend (I like Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Baking Flour) * 1 tsp baking powder for baking. What is the best way to use xanthan gum in a flour mix? * 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast *1 tablespoon sugar *2 cups warm water (around 110°F) * 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Pizza Topping:
* 1/2 cup pizza sauce (your favorite brand) * 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese * 1/4 cup grated cheese. Parmesan cheese * 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning * 2 cloves garlic, minced * Optional: Pepperoni slices, sliced olives, bell peppers.
What is the Garlic Butter Topping?
* 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted * 2 cloves garlic, minced * 1 teaspoon garlic powder * * 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
What are the steps to
Step 1: Activate the Yeast
In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in warm water. Let it stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy. This step ensures that the yeast is active and your dough will rise properly.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum and salt. Set aside. Make sure all the dry ingredients are well combined for even distribution in the dough.
Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry
Add the olive oil to the yeast mixture, then gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon. With a dough hook, or with sifter, mix the dough until smooth. Is it sticky?
Step 4: Let the Dough Rise
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, or until it is completely dry. Is doubled in size? How long does it take to rise depending on the temperature of your kitchen?
Step 5: Preheat Oven & Prep Baking Sheet
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. The breadsticks are rolled so that they don’t stick and make cleanup a breeze.
Step 6: Assemble the Breadsticks
How do you turn out dough on a lightly floured surface? How do you roll a rectangle about 12×16 inches? Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and serve. Italian seasoning, minced garlic. Add your favorite toppings to your pizza.
Step 7: Roll and Slice
Starting from one long end, tightly roll the dough into a log. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 1-inch thick slices. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side up.
Step 8: Bake
If cheese is melted and golden brown, bake for 15-20 minutes. Keep a close eye on them, as baking times can vary.
Step 9: Make the Garlic Butter Topping
While breadsticks are baking, melt butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the minced garlic, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Step 10: Brush and Serve
As soon as the breadsticks come out of the oven, brush them with the Garlic Butter topping. Serve warm and enjoy!

What are some Tips for making gluten-free pizza breadsticks?
Flour Selection: Using a high-quality gluten-free all-purpose Flour Blend is key. I’ve found that Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Baking Flour works consistently well. Make sure it contains xanthan gum, or add it separately.
Yeast Activation: Make sure your water is warm, but not too hot, when activating the yeast. If it’s too hot, it can kill the yeast. The ideal temperature is around 110°F.
Dough Handling: Gluten-free dough can be a bit sticky. Don’t be tempted to add too much extra flour, as this can make the breadsticks dry. Instead, lightly flour your hands and the work surface.
Topping Customization: Feel free to get creative with your toppings. Pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, bell peppers – anything goes! Just make sure not to overload them, as this can make the breadsticks soggy.
Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the breadsticks while they’re baking. Baking times can vary depending on your oven. They’re done when they’re golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garlic Butter: Don’t skip the garlic butter topping! It adds so much flavor and makes the breadsticks extra delicious. You can also add a pinch of Red Pepper flakes for a little heat.
I’ve also tested this recipe with different gluten-free flour brands, and while most work fine, I always come back to Bob’s Red Mill for its consistent results. Also, I accidentally added too much garlic once, and while it was still good, it was a bit overpowering. So, stick to the measurements in the recipe!
Storing and Reheating Tips
These gluten-free pizza breadsticks are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored and reheated if you have leftovers:
Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours. They may become a bit softer, but they’ll still taste great.
Refrigerator Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They’ll become firmer, but reheating will restore some of the softness.
Freezer Instructions: Wrap the breadsticks individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
Reheating: To reheat, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also microwave them for a quick reheat, but they may become a bit chewy.
I usually make a double batch and freeze half for busy weeknights. It’s such a lifesaver to have them on hand!
