Gluten Free Parmesan Sesame Breadsticks

These soft Gluten Free Parmesan Sesame Breadsticks are my new gluten free bread passion.  They are so amazing and so easy to whip up.  I have been using Pamela's Gluten Free All-Purpose Artisan Flour for a lot of recipes lately, including these breadsticks, and all  the recipes have come out great.  I have made these breadsticks using the all-purpose gluten free flour blend on the blog too and they came out good that way also.  It was a little more fluffy with the Pamela's though. You could leave out the Parmesan and sesame seeds if you'd like, but they really add to the breadstick. Serve them with a nice bowl of gluten free spaghetti, and you'll thank me!

1 1/4 cups gluten free all-purpose flour (I used Pamela's)
2 tsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp. xanthan gum if your flour does not contain it
2/3 cup milk (with an added 1/4 cup if needed)
3 Tbsp. butter, melted
2 tsp. sesame seeds
1/4 cup Parmesan

In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, xanthan (if using) and salt.  Gradually add milk and stir to form a soft dough.  If the dough is too dry, add a couple of tablespoons more of milk until the dough comes together ( it could take up to a 1/4 cup).  It will still be a bit wet, not  a totally dry dough.  Turn dough onto a surface heavily sprinkled with gluten free flour.  Sprinkle a little gluten free flour on top of dough and pat dough out with your hands into about a 6 inch rectangle.  You don't want it too thin.  With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut dough into 12 breadsticks.  They will look a bit flat, so I roll each one a little on your floured surface to give it more of a round breadstick shape.  Melt butter in microwave and brush over each breadstick with a pastry brush.  I brush the bottoms and the tops.  Sprinkle the tops of each breadstick with sesame seeds and Parmesan cheese and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, about 1/2 inch apart.  Bake at 450 degrees for about 14 minutes or until golden brown.
