Health benefits of Ultimate Keto Breadsticks

Chia seeds are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants. The high fiber content helps regulate blood sugar levels and supports digestive health. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and improve heart health, which is beneficial for managing PCOS symptoms. Including chia seeds in your diet can help provide essential nutrients and support overall health and well-being. Basil is an excellent stress reliever, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Ingredients

Breadsticks (1 recipe keto tortilla dough)
1 cup almond flour (100 g / 3.5 oz)
¾ cup flaxmeal (ground flaxseed) (110 g / 4 oz)
¼ cup coconut flour (30 g / 1.1 oz)
2 tbsp whole psyllium husks or 1 tbsp psyllium husk powder (8 g / 0.3 oz)
2 tbsp chia seeds, ground (15 g / 0.5 oz)
1 tsp salt (I like pink Himalayan)
1 cup water, lukewarm (240 ml / 8 fl oz) 2-4 tbsp if the dough is too dry

Topping:
2 large egg yolks for brushing (use water or melted ghee for egg-free)
4 tbsp mixed seeds (caraway, sesame, poppy seed, etc.) or grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp coarse sea salt or pink Himalayan salt

Optionally serve with:
Marinara sauce
Pesto (try Red Pesto, Paleo Avocado Pesto or Basil & Macadamia Pesto)
BBQ sauce (try Spicy Chocolate BBQ Sauce or Blackberry BBQ Sauce)
Keto cheese sauce

Make sure you use kitchen scale for measuring all the dry ingredients. Using just cups may not be enough to achieve best results, especially in baked goods. Weights per cups and tablespoons may vary depending on the product/ brand or if you make you own ingredients (like flaxmeal from flaxseeds).

Instructions

1. Prepare the tortilla dough by following this recipe. You'll use the same ingredients like you would to make tortillas, apart from the oil which is not needed in this recipe.
Leave the dough to rest in the fridge for 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 175 C / 350 F. Divide the dough in quarters and then divide each quarter into 5 pieces. Wet your fingers in a bowl of water and roll & press the dough to form breadsticks, about 25 cm / 10 inch long.
2. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with the egg yolks...
3. .. and sprinkle with seeds or / and parmesan cheese and salt. Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until browned and crispy.
4. If you prefer a crunchier texture (more like Grissini), bake for additional 15-20 minutes on 125 C / 260 F. Enjoy!
