Chef's Notes
- Store leftover breadsticks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.
- For a make-ahead option, prepare the dough and freeze it. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before rolling out and baking for fresh breadsticks anytime.
- Substitute almond flour with coconut flour for a nut-free version. Adjust the liquid content slightly as coconut flour absorbs more moisture.
- Enhance the flavor by adding a sprinkle of truffle salt before serving. It complements the garlic and cheese, adding a luxurious touch.
