Bread adds a nice touch to almost any meal, and if you are gluten free, it can be a particularly special treat. These gluten-free breadsticks add that special something. They do require a few ingredients, but they’re pretty easy to make.
I recommend mixing up multiple batches of the dry ingredients at one time. Just set out a row of bowls and measure the flour, starches, gum, onion and garlic powders, salt, and sugar into each bowl. Place the contents of each bowl into an airtight container or bag. Then, the next time you want breadsticks, they will be very easy to put together.
These breadsticks are very similar to my previous recipe, but they are dairy free. Any milk substitute can be used and this recipe does not call for cheese.
Breadsticks (Dairy Free)

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sorghum flour
- 1/4 cup potato starch
- 1/4 cup tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons instant or bread machine yeast
- 1/2 cup warm milk substitute (105°-115°)
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 egg white, beaten
Instructions
- Grease a large baking sheet.
- Cut 1/2 inch off one corner of a quart size plastic bag.
- In the bowl of your mixer, combine the sorghum flour, starches, xanthan gum, onion and garlic powders, salt, sugar, and instant yeast.
- Add the milk substitute, oil, and vinegar and beat on medium speed for 1 minute.
- Add the dough to the plastic bag, pressing the dough into the cut corner and twisting the bag closed behind the dough. Squeeze the dough onto the baking sheet in 6 inch long ropes.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg white.
- Place the baking sheet into a cold oven and set the temperature to 400°. Begin timing when the oven is turned on and bake about 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Serve warm.

I love them! The funny thing is I used your wonderful pizza recipe to make breadsticks and I posted it today! Mine are not as proportioned as yours. LOL
Those look fantastic, Linda! I really love breadsticks. Haven’t had them in eons. Will have to share this recipe in my Bountiful Bread Basket series. 🙂
Thanks,
Shirley
Sounds easy. Looking forward to giving this recipe a try!
Hi Linda…these look fantastic.
I would like to link your page to my facebook page for my bakery if that is okay.
Keep up the great work!

Hi Linda
Changed my way of life. I am going for an operation on my back and think gluten free might be the way to go. I’ve heard that it helps with joint pain etc. I would love to experiment with your recipes.
Thanks Linda G.
What is a milk substitute.
For people who can’t have dairy there are substitutes such as almond milk or coconut milk.
I just wonder if these are soft breadsticks or crunchy ones. Thanks.
They’re soft breadsticks.
Can I use regular yeast in this recipe?
You can, but you might need to use slightly more and you would need to mix it in with the warm milk and let it sit for 5 minutes to activate before adding to the dry ingredients.
I have never heard of gluten free bread sticks before and I love bread stick with lasagna!
