Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 12 knots
Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Mix thoroughly until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and turn out the dough. Knead the dough gently for 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and cohesive.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick using a rolling pin.
- Cut the dough into 12 equal strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Roll each strip into a rope and tie into a knot, tucking the ends underneath to create a neat shape.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt.
- Brush each knot generously with the garlic butter mixture before placing on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the knots are golden brown and puffy.
- Remove from oven and brush with any remaining garlic butter while still hot.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Tips
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: For the best results, ensure your Greek yogurt is at room temperature before mixing. This helps create a smoother dough.
- Don’t Overwork the Dough: Knead the dough gently for just a few minutes. Over-kneading can lead to tough knots, so keep it soft and tender.
- Experiment with Seasonings: Feel free to customize the garlic butter mixture with your favorite herbs or spices, like crushed red pepper flakes or fresh parsley, for an extra flavor boost.
- Perfect Your Knot Technique: When tying your knots, don’t worry if they aren’t perfect! Each knot has its own character, and the rustic look adds to their charm.
- Serve Fresh: These knots are best enjoyed warm right out of the oven. If you have leftovers, reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to bring back their softness.
- Pair with Dipping Sauces: Enhance your garlic knots by serving them with marinara sauce, garlic butter, or even a creamy ranch dressing for dipping.
