If you’re planning a party platter then one thing you absolutely have to make is Gluten Free Breadsticks. They’re crisp, delicious and perfect for nibbling as part of a cheese board or having with dips.
These gluten free breadsticks are a really easy bread recipe and great for making with kids or if you’re a beginner to gluten free baking.
I love to roll them in sesame seeds for an extra crunch but you can keep them plain or even flavour them.
These breadsticks are infused with a little garlic and chilli but you can easily change this for your favourite herbs or omit completely.
I originally published this recipe in my Gluten Free Christmas ebook which is no longer for sale – but you can buy my actual, real book here!

Gluten Free Breadsticks
Gluten Free Breadsticks are a super easy bake, perfect for parties, having with dips and nibbles or as a side dish or starter.
Ingredients
- 450g gluten free white bread flour
- 1 tsp xanthan gum
- 1 tsp quick yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 300ml warm water (150ml boiling water + 150ml cold
- water)
- 15g salted butter
- ½ tsp garlic granules
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- Olive oil (for brushing)
- Optional: 2 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180’C / Fan 160'C / Gas 4. Add the butter, garlic granules and chilli flakes to a small pan and melt over a low heat. Once melted, remove from the heat.
- Add the flour, yeast, sugar, salt and xanthan gum to a large mixing bowl and stir together with a wooden spoon.
- Pour in the warm water and melted butter, then bring together into a dough with the spoon. Use your hands to knead for 1-2 minutes.
- Bring the dough into a ball, then using a knife cut it into quarters. Cut each quarter into eight, and then using each hands, roll each ball of dough until it is about the diameter of a pencil. Don’t worry if it’s a bit wonky or bobbly – I call it rustic!
- If you are using sesame seeds, place them on a plate and roll each breadstick in them, gently pressing the seeds into the dough to stick.
- Place each breadstick on a baking tray with about 2cm between them. Cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place for around 20 minutes to prove – they won’t rise much.
- Brush each stick with a little olive oil then bake for around 10 minutes until golden.
- Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack before eating. Best enjoyed fresh – if you’re eating these a day or two later you can refresh them with a 3-4 minute blast in the oven before serving.
