Mix the dry ingredients and Greek yogurt together with a spoon, fork, or rubber spatula to form a shaggy, sticky dough.
Transfer the dough to a work surface lightly dusted with tapioca starch. Dust your hands with tapioca starch and work the dough slightly to form it into more a of a cohesive dough. Shape it into a disc about ½" thick.
Cut the disc into 6 or 8 wedgesTake each wedge and roll/shape it into a log/breadstick.
Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining wedges, leaving some space between each of the breadsticks.

Commonly Asked Questions
Sour cream can be substituted 1:1 for the Greek yogurt.
Yes! Simply defrost the breadsticks and toast them in the oven to warm them up.
Unfortunately, I have never tried making these breadsticks without the yogurt and I am not sure if non-dairy yogurts would work.
For a more basic breadstick, you can omit all the garlic powder, dried parsley, and parmesan cheese from the recipe. Simple brush the breadsticks with plain melted butter and sprinkle some salt on top before baking.
They will taste best on the first day. However, if you have leftovers, store them in a resealable bag or container for a day at room temperature, or in the fridge for 2-3 days. They taste best when warmed up in a toaster oven.

Notes
- This recipes makes 6-8 breadsticks.
- Volume Measurements:
- ½ cup + 3 tbs brown rice flour
- ⅓ cup + 3 tbs tapioca starch
- ¼ cup + 1 teaspoon sorghum flour
- This recipe works best with weight measurements because they are more precise than volume measurements.
- The volume measurements were made from spooning each of the flours into the measuring cups/spoons (so they are not packed) and leveling them off.
- The volume measurements are approximate. Make slight adjustments to the recipe as needed, adding a bit more Greek yogurt or a bit more tapioca starch or brown rice flour to achieve the correct dough consistency.
- For even cheesier breadsticks, mix grated Parmesan or small chunks directly to the dough!
- Reheat leftover breadsticks in a toaster oven or in the microwave.

Can I also use Schar mix B instead of the other flours?
I don't know how the breadsticks will turn out if you use the mix, Sanne, but you could certainly give it a try to see if they work.
