  2. In a bowl, combine the warm water and yeast; let it sit until frothy (about 5 minutes).
  3. Stir in the gluten-free flour, olive oil, garlic powder, and salt until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead gently for about 2 minutes.
  5. Divide the dough into ten equal pieces, rolling each into a rope and tying into knots.
  6. Place the knots on a greased baking sheet and let them rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
  7. Brush melted butter over each knot, sprinkle with parsley and salt, then bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Knead dough gently to avoid toughness; let the dough rise properly for a soft texture.
