Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup sorghum flour (~70 g)
  • ½ cup millet flour (~65 g)
  • ½ cup tapioca starch (~60 g)
  • 2 tbsp potato starch (~16 g)
  • 1½ tsp baking powder (~6 g)
  • ½ tsp sea salt (~3 g)

Yeast & Psyllium Gel Mixture

  • 2½ tsp active dry yeast (~8 g)
  • 1 tsp honey (~7 g)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (~27 g)
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (~5 g)
  • ¾ cup warm water (180 g)
  • 2 tsp psyllium husk powder (~5 g)

For Brushing

  • 2 tbsp melted butter (~28 g)
  • Pinch salt (~0.5 g)
  • 2 cloves fresh minced garlic or ½ tbsp garlic powder (~4 g)
  • 1 tbsp Italian herbs (~3 g)

Instructions

  • Activate the yeast & psyllium gel: In a stand mixer bowl, whisk together the warm water, yeast, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and psyllium husk powder until fully combined. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, until thick and gel-like.
  • Prepare the flour: If using whole grains, grind the sorghum and millet into flour using a grain mill, (Or use pre-milled flours.)
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine the sorghum and millet flours with the tapioca starch, potato starch, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • Combine wet and dry: Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix with a dough hook on medium speed until a smooth, slightly sticky dough forms.
  • Shape: Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Gently roll each into a 6-inch (15 cm) breadstick and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Rise: Cover loosely with a towel and let rise in a warm place for 40–60 minutes, until slightly puffed.
  • Preheat oven: Preheat to 400°F (205°C).
  • Top & bake: Brush breadsticks with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder, herbs, and salt. Bake for 18–20 minutes, until lightly golden.
  • Serve: Serve warm.
