Calories 147kcal

1-1/4 cup tapioca flour/starch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon heaping Italian seasoning
6 oz shredded mozzarella or Italian blend cheese ~1-1/2 cups
1 cup pizza toppings chopped pepperoni, sliced black olives, Italian sausage, etc.
2 eggs whisked
1/4 cup butter melted then slightly cooled
warmed marinara or pizza sauce for dipping

Preheat oven to 450 degrees then line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat and set aside.
Add tapioca flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to a large bowl then whisk slowly to combine. Add cheese and pizza toppings then whisk to combine. Add eggs and butter then switch to a wooden spoon and stir until mixture is thoroughly combined. Mixture will be slightly sticky but shouldn't be impossible to work with - it will become less sticky after sitting for a couple minutes.
Lightly wet hands then scoop 1/4 cup dough into your hands and roll into a 3-4" log. Place onto prepared baking sheet then bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown, rotating the pan halfway through. Serve with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.

Preheat to 390 degrees (or the closest setting to 390 degrees on your model of Air Fryer) then spray the basket very well with nonstick spray. Add pizza sticks to basket 2" apart (will need to cook in batches) then cook for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.

I recommend Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Tapioca Flour.
Tapioca starch is what gives the breadsticks their soft and stretchy texture so do not swap it out for a different starch, gluten-free baking flour blend, or all-purpose flour. The breadsticks will not turn out.
To freeze: freeze the cooked then cooled Pizza Breadsticks on a baking sheet until frozen solid then transfer to a Ziplock freezer bag for up to 3 months.
To reheat using the microwave: place frozen pizza breadsticks on a plate then cover with a paper towel. Microwave on 50% power for one minute or until heated through.
To reheat using an Air Fryer: spray the basket very well with nonstick spray then cook for 2-3 minutes at 390 degrees or until heated through.
