Garlic and Herb Breadsticks

1/2 cup water
1/4 cup olive oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
dash pepper
pinch fresh nutmeg
1/2 cup all purpose GF flour ( I use Sun Flour Mills)
1 tsp xanthan gum
2 large eggs
1 Tbl fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, basil), chopped (I used Italian seasoning, use less if you don't want it to be as savory)
1 clove garlic, minced

Preheat 425
Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets
In a medium sauce pan, heat water, oil, salt, pepper and nutmeg over medium heat until liquid begins to simmer.  Immediately add flour, xanthan gum, stirring until dough forms.  Cook 2 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly.
Pour hot mixture into a food processor, add eggs, herbs, garlic.  Pulse until all ingredients are incorporated and dough is smooth and elastic.
Spoon mixture into pastry bag (#14 bag with no tip) or large ziploc bag with a corner cut off about 1/2 inch.  Squeeze out long, thin mounds of dough about 8-10 inches long.
Bake 20-24 minutes until golden brown.

Makes 6-8 breadsticks.  We doubled the recipe, but could have tripled it and everyone would have been very happy.
