Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt plain, full-fat or 2%
For the Topping
  • 1/4 cup olive oil California extra-virgin recommended
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese grated
For Serving
  • Marinara sauce for dipping

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the Greek yogurt and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 2 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cut the dough into 8 equal portions.
  4. Working one at a time, roll each portion into a 10- to 12-inch long rope. Tie each rope into a simple knot and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, and Parmesan. Brush this mixture generously over each knot.
  6. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the knots are puffed and lightly golden. Let cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Knead the dough thoroughly for a couple of minutes until it's smooth and stretchy; it may feel sticky at first, but resist adding extra flour unless it's sticking to your hands. Store leftover garlic knots in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. To freeze, place cooled knots in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months; thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes. For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based yogurt and omit the Parmesan or use a vegan alternative. If you don't have fresh parsley, substitute 1 teaspoon of dried parsley. These knots are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in an air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes for a crisp exterior.
