Instructions
Preheat oven to 400ºF (205ºC) for 10 minutes; then turn it off.
Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1 cup (250 ml) of milk and let stand 5 minutes. Grease a 13×9-inch baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, beat yeast-milk mixture, bean flour, cornstarch, parmesan cheese, oil, xanthan gum, onion powder and salt on medium speed for 30 seconds. Dough will be soft and sticky.
place dough in 1 gallon (4 quarts or 3.75 L), heavy-duty plastic freezer bag. Snip ½-inch diagonally on corner with scissors. Squeeze dough out of plastic bag onto sheet in 12 strips, each 1-inch wide by 6 inches long. Brush breadsticks with remaining milk; sprinkle with poppy seeds.
Place in oven to rise for 20 to 30 minutes. Then, leaving breadsticks in oven, turn oven to 400ºF (205ºC) and bake until golden brown – about 20 minutes. Rotate cookie sheet halfway through baking to assure even browning. Cool 10 minutes on wire rack; serve slightly warm.
