Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water (110°F / 43°C)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • Flaky sea salt (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Activate yeast: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast, and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Make the dough: Stir in gluten-free flour, olive oil, garlic powder, and salt into the yeast mixture. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough: Transfer the sticky dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 2 minutes to bring it together and ensure even consistency.
  4. Shape the knots: Divide the dough into ten equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope shape and then tie each rope into a knot, forming the garlic knots.
  5. Let knots rise: Place the knots on a greased baking sheet, cover, and let them rise in a warm place for 20 minutes so they can puff up slightly.
  6. Add toppings and bake: Brush the melted butter over each knot generously, then sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and flaky sea salt. Bake the knots in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until they turn golden brown.

Notes

  • For extra garlic flavor, add minced fresh garlic to the melted butter before brushing on the knots.
  • Ensure water temperature is not too hot to avoid killing the yeast; around 110°F (43°C) is ideal.
  • Use gluten-free flour blend that includes xanthan gum or another binder for best dough texture.
  • Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat before serving.
