Ingredients

Dough

Garlic Butter

  • ¼ cup (56g) butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
  • marinara sauce for serving

Instructions

  • For the dough: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder and garlic salt. Add the greek yogurt and egg and stir to combine.
  • Transfer dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth, about 2 minutes. Cut into 8 equal pieces.
  • Roll each piece into a 10-12-inch log. Tie each log into a knot and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. You may need to press the dough together and shape it to form the knot.
  • For the garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic salt and parmesan cheese. Brush the garlic butter on each garlic knot.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, until slightly golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Brush with more garlic butter if desired and enjoy dipped in marinara sauce. Best served warm.

Notes

Gluten-Free: These gluten-free garlic knots were specifically designed with King Arthur Gluten-Free Bread Flour. No other gluten-free flour blend will work the same.
Dairy-Free: Unfortunately this recipe cannot be made dairy-free. The Greek yogurt is essential since the recipe doesn't use yeast.
Nut-Free: This recipe is naturally nut-free.
To Make-Ahead: These garlic knots are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven while they're still warm. I don't recommend making the dough in advance. It will lose some of its rise and softness as it sits.
To Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day or in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
To Freeze: Freeze the baked garlic knots in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in the oven until warmed through.
