Cheesy Italian Breadsticks
3/4 cup blanched almond flour
3/4 cup ground golden flaxseed
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3 large eggs
1/4 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons olive oil
For the topping:
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley, optional
Directions:
In a mixing bowl, mix first 10 ingredients together with a whisk to help break up any lumps; stir in shredded mozzarella.
In a small bowl, lightly beat eggs, buttermilk and olive oil together. Add wet mixture to dry ingredients, mixing just until combined and dough pulls together; lightly shape into a ball. Allow dough to sit for about 5 minutes; dough thickens as it sits.
Place ball of dough in the center of a sheet of parchment paper on counter or work surface. Cover dough with an additional sheet of parchment paper and roll dough out between parchment, using a rolling pin, into a rectangular or oblong shape, about 9” x 12” (½-inch thick). Lightly grease a pizza wheel or sharp knife and cut into approximate 1-inch wide strips. Carefully transfer strips of dough to prepared baking sheet and space about 1-1/2 inches apart. Bake for approximately 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown. Makes approximately 1 dozen breadsticks, or if desired, cut strips of dough in half lengthwise to make 2 dozen 4-inch sticks.
Remove breadsticks from oven and brush with melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley before serving. If desired, serve with your favorite marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
*Note: If breadstick dough breaks while transferring to baking sheet, simply press dough lightly back together.
