Notes
Always use certified gluten-free ingredients to keep this recipe celiac-safe. Fresh garlic provides the best flavor, and Greek yogurt helps create a soft, moist crumb. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.
