Bread Sticks

I hear it from every reader and at every support group meeting. "I miss BREAD!" - there's really no need for that, with these delicious bread sticks. They go great with a meal – or make a great  snack.  For those times when you’re craving something salty, cheesy, crisp on the outside and soft in the middle.

This recipe makes a LOT of product, so it’s best to separate it into fourths, and bake about 1/4 of the dough at a time. The rest will keep in the refrigerator for a LONG time (not that mine lasts that long in there before use...) and you can cook up fresh low carb bread products as needed.

Ingredients

1 8 ounce bag good quality shredded Parmesan cheese
1 cup almond meal (flour)
1 large (or 2 small) egg(s)
2 Tablespoons melted butter
Optional: granulated garlic to taste

Preheat oven to 350 F
Mix ingredients well and chill. 

Roll small portions into a ball and then form into cheese sticks. 

Bake on parchment lined sheet pan for 10 minutes, turning after 5 minutes or as necessary.

Cook's Notes:

• I make my bread sticks flat on top so I can turn them over to to get crisp and brown on both sides
• Make one "bread stick" the size of a bread slice or bun, then cut it open and stuff with sandwich fixings, like ciabatta or focaccia!
• Make it larger and use it for a pizza crust!
• Every oven is different, so your cooking time may vary.  Watch them!  They smell AWFUL if they burn!
