# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Dough

01 - 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
02 - 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
03 - 1 teaspoon sugar
04 - 3/4 cup warm water
05 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Combine warm water, sugar, and instant yeast in a bowl and let rest for 5 minutes until the mixture is foamy.
02 - Add gluten-free flour blend, olive oil, and salt to the yeast mixture, then stir until a sticky dough forms.
03 - Cover the dough and allow it to rest in a warm location for 30 to 40 minutes until slightly risen.
04 - Divide the dough into 12 equal portions, shape each into a breadstick, and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking tray.
05 - Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the breadsticks with olive oil or melted butter before baking.
06 - Bake the breadsticks for 18 to 22 minutes until they turn a golden brown color.
07 - Melt butter in a pan with minced garlic, then brush this garlic butter over the warm breadsticks.
08 - Sprinkle chopped parsley and parmesan cheese if desired, then serve the breadsticks warm.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For a dairy-free option, substitute vegan butter and omit parmesan cheese. Store breadsticks at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
