Ingredients

  • 2½ cups (350g) certified gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup (240ml) warm milk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, yeast, sugar, salt, baking powder, and garlic powder.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the warm milk, olive oil, egg, and apple cider vinegar. Mix for about 5 minutes until a soft, sticky dough forms.
  3. Let Rise: Cover the bowl and let the dough rest in a warm place for 30 minutes until slightly puffy.
  4. Shape the Knots: Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each into a 6-inch rope and tie into a simple knot. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake: Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 18–20 minutes until lightly golden.
  6. Make Garlic Butter: Mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, Parmesan, and salt.
  7. Finish: Brush the warm garlic knots generously with garlic butter and serve immediately.

Notes

Always use certified gluten-free ingredients to avoid cross-contamination. Gluten-free dough is naturally stickier than traditional dough, so avoid adding too much extra flour. These garlic knots freeze well and can be reheated in the oven or air fryer for fresh bakery-style texture.
