Garlic Knots

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend
• 2 1/4 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
• 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Warm Water (105-115°F)
• 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
• 1/4 cup Melted Butter
• 4 cloves Minced Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Dried Parsley
• 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and xanthan gum.

2. 2

   Add the warm water, olive oil, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

3. 3

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (using gluten-free flour). Knead for 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. It will be sticky, so add a little more flour if needed.

4. 4

   Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

5. 5

   Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

6. 6

   Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 6-8 inches long.

7. 7

   Tie each rope into a knot and place on the prepared baking sheet.

8. 8

   In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, dried oregano, garlic powder and Parmesan cheese. Brush the garlic butter mixture over the knots.

9. 9

   Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

10. 10

    Brush with any remaining garlic butter mixture immediately after removing from oven. Serve warm.
