Why It Works
  • The combination of cassava flour, baking soda, and salt creates a dough that is light and airy.
  • The olive oil adds flavor and richness to the breadsticks.
  • The water and apple cider vinegar help to bind the ingredients together and create a smooth dough.
  • Kneading the dough for 5-7 minutes develops the gluten in the flour, which makes the breadsticks chewy.
  • Baking the breadsticks at a high temperature creates a golden brown crust.
