Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten free flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients and Toppings
- 2 cups fat free Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the gluten free flour, kosher salt, and baking powder thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Form the Dough: Add the Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and stir until the dough comes together into a slightly sticky, but workable ball.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat and gently cook the minced garlic until fragrant but not browned, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 10×14 inches in size for easy rolling.
- Brush and Sprinkle: Brush the garlic butter evenly over the rolled dough, then sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese and chopped Italian parsley on top evenly.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from one of the long edges, gently roll the dough into a tight log. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into approximately 1-inch thick swirls and arrange them cut side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving slight space between each.
- Bake to Golden: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the swirls are puffed up and golden brown on top.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while warm, ideal with marinara or arrabbiatta sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Serve with marinara or arrabbiatta sauce for a flavorful dipping experience.
- Best enjoyed warm to savor the soft texture and garlic buttery flavor.
- You can substitute unsalted butter with olive oil for a different flavor profile.
- Ensure not to brown the garlic during butter melting to avoid bitterness.
