Dough Ingredients
  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour Use a blend that contains xanthan gum for best texture.
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast Ensure yeast is fresh for best results.
  • 3/4 cup warm water Water should be around 110°F (43°C) to activate yeast.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil For a richer flavor.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder Adjust to taste.
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley For garnish and flavor.
  • 2 tbsp melted butter For brushing knots before baking.
  • to taste Flaky sea salt Sprinkle on top before baking.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  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.

Notes

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