Instructions
1
In a small bowl, combine the dry active yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let the mixture stand undisturbed for 10 minutes or until it becomes frothy.
2
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the ground flax seeds, gluten-free flour mix, garlic powder, and guar gum until well-combined.
3
Pour the foamy yeast mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing with a sturdy spoon or using the paddle attachment of the stand mixer for about 3 minutes until fully combined.
4
Add the extra-virgin olive oil and kosher salt to the dough, mixing until it comes together into a soft, slightly elastic ball. If the dough feels too dry, gradually add warm water until desired consistency is reached.
5
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and set it aside in a warm, draft-free area to rise for 1 hour.
6
After the hour, gently deflate the dough and knead it briefly in the bowl. Allow it to rest for an additional 5 minutes.
7
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
8
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, basil, parsley, and a pinch of ground pepper, mixing well to create the garlic herb oil.
9
Divide the rested dough into 18 equal portions. Shape each piece into a breadstick, using your hands to roll them out into sticks.
10
Arrange the shaped breadsticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each stick generously with the garlic herb oil mixture. Let the breadsticks rise for 30 minutes.
11
Once they have risen, bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden on top. Allow cooling for at least 15 minutes before serving.
