Bread: Chebe Garlic and Onion Breadsticks

As Rob and I were blown away by the Chebe Bread, I immediately picked up a package of the Chebe Garlic & Onion Mix to try. Chebe’s Garlic & Onion breadstick mix is gluten-free, yeast free, casein free and lactose free.

I made the breadsticks essentially the same way by mixing the product with 2 tbs. olive oil, 2 large eggs, and 4 tbs. of milk. This time I omitted the pecorino cheese. I rolled into sticks about ¾” thick and placed on a non greased pan. I baked them for 23 minutes at 375 degrees.

Again, the Chebe was a hit! Totally gluten free and completely delicious! I served ours with a home-made spicy tomato and bean soup. I had to work hard to stop eating them and freeze the rest. I’ll let you know how they taste after being frozen.

One observation I will make is that I did miss the cheese. The garlic and onion just weren’t strong enough to taste, and I think the cheese would have boosted the flavor. But in all likelihood, I think the dry milk in the regular Chebe bread might be the missing ingredient here- and if you can tolerate dairy, I would go with the original and add in some garlic and onion.

Ingredients:

Manioc (tapioca) flour, modified manioc starch, iodine-free salt, onion, garlic. Contains no gluten, no wheat, no casein, no lactose, no yeast, no MSG. Chebe Bread Products are made in a gluten-free environment.
