Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups water 100-110 degrees F.
  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) instant (rapid rise)
  • 2 cups garbanzo bean chick pea flour (you may need more)
  • 2 cups almond meal/flour
  • 1 cup ground golden flaxseeds
  • 2 teaspoons kosher alt
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • Coarse salt and caraway seeds to sprinkle on top.
  • Olive oil for coating a work surface.

Instructions

  • In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk the water and yeast until the yeast dissolves. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the garbanzo bean flour, almond meal/flour, flaxseeds, and kosher salt. Add the melted butter, and stir to combine. Add the yeast mixture and mix on medium for 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl, until all the ingredients are mixed and a loose ball of dough forms. (You may need to add up to 1/2 cup more garbanzo flour) See photos.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand in a arm place for about 1 hour, or until the dough increases in size ( it will not double like traditional dough).
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment or silpat, silicon baking sheets.
  • In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg, water, baking soda.
  • Lightly coat a work surface with oil. Turn the dough onto the work surface and knead a few times to bring the dough together. Divide into 24 pieces, and roll each piece into a ball.
  • Roll each ball into a 5"-6" bread sticks. Brush each bread stick with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sea salt and caraway seeds.
  • Bake for 25 mites or until golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
