Growing up, a trip to Pizza Hut after high school football games was a common occurrence.
So I went back into the kitchen and got to work — determined to recreate that warm, chewy, pull-apart breadstick I remembered so well.
There were a few flops along the way (as there always are when you’re creating something from scratch)...
But also some happy surprises.
I experimented with different grain-free flours, adjusted the seasonings, and tweaked the baking time — until finally, I pulled a batch from the oven that made me stop and
smile.
The texture was soft and chewy, just like I remembered.
The flavor had that perfect hint of garlic and salt.
And best of all, these breadsticks were made without grains, gluten, dairy, or anything that would derail a healthy lifestyle.
They’re quick to whip up, made with simple, wholesome ingredients, and perfect for dipping into your favorite sauce — or enjoying all on their own.
Keto Chewy Breadsticks Recipe

Yield: 10
breadsticks
Dry Ingredients
- 2 tsp. active dry yeast
- ¼ tsp. coconut sugar (for yeast activation – not for sweetness)
- 1 cup almond flour (100 g)
- ½ cup organic raw potato starch, 60 g)
- 2 tsp. organic psyllium husk powder (7 g)
- ½ tsp. sea salt
- Flaky sea salt or Maldon salt, for topping (optional)
- Sesame seeds, for topping (optional)
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup warm water (110°F)
- 1 pastured egg, whisked
- 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
- Egg wash (optional): 1 pastured egg + 1 tsp. water, whisked
Directions
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together almond
flour, green banana flour, psyllium husk, and sea salt.
Proof the Yeast:
Warm the water to 110°F. Add the yeast and coconut sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes until foamy. (If no foam, your yeast may be inactive—try again with fresh yeast.)
Combine Wet Ingredients:
Stir the whisked egg and olive oil into the yeast mixture.
Form the Dough:
Slowly mix the wet ingredients into the dry mixture using a silicone spatula or a mixer with a paddle attachment. The dough will be sticky and soft—this is normal.
Let it Rise:
Cover the bowl with a warm, damp cloth. Let rise in a warm area for 1 hour.
Preheat & Prepare:
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Shape Breadsticks:
Lightly oil your hands and divide the dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll each into a stick about ½ inch thick. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Optional Toppings:
Brush each stick
with egg wash, oil, or melted butter. Sprinkle with flaky salt or sesame seeds, if desired.
Bake:
Bake for 12–14 minutes or until golden brown.
Store:
Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in a toaster oven for best texture.
