Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 500°F.
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Ensure your grated cheese remains cold. Refrigerate after grating. In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, rosemary and grated cheese.
Prepare biscuit recipe (I used non-fat milk with 1 additional tablespoon of rice milk), adding half of the cheese mixture to the dry ingredients.
Dust your hands with rice flour. Place the dough onto a lightly floured baking mat. Pat the dough into a rectangular shape, and then roll it out to about 1/2" thick and about 8" x 15". You do not want to overly flour your rolling surface or you will see the flour on your breadsticks.
Cut into about 5/8" wide strips using a long knife or a pizza cutter.
Sprinkle the other half of the cheese mixture on a plate or a flat surface such as a pastry rolling mat.
Place each strip, one at the time, in the cheese. You will notice that the areas that were cut are moist enough to pick up the cheese mixture. Tap each side into the cheese, pressing lightly to coat each side of the strip.
While transferring the strip to the lined baking sheet, begin to twist the middle of the strip; lay it down on the baking sheet and twist the ends.
Spray the tops of the breadsticks with olive oil.
Place in the oven and bake until your gluten free breadsticks are golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes.
Serve immediately. Reheat any left overs in a microwave on low for a very short time, though a microwave will soften them, similar to fresh baked pizza dough. If you overheat them they will begin to bend. Another option is rewarm them in the oven or a toaster oven.
