Ingredients

1 3/4 cups self-rising flour
1 cup Greek Yogurt non-fat, full-fat or reduced-fat varieties work, as does Coconut Yogurt (vegan)
2 tablespoon butter I used dairy-free butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning oregano, basil and thyme

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour with yogurt and mix well, until combined. Then, use your hands to incorporate it together, and form a ball of dough.
Lightly flour a kitchen surface. Add a tablespoon of flour on top of the ball of dough, and tranfer to the floured surface. Press into flat, circular shape. Divide the dough into 8 or 16 pieces- 8 for large knots, 16 for smaller knots.
Roll out each piece of dough into a sausage shape (length and width). Grab both ends of the dough and meet together, before folding one under the other to form a 'knot'. Repeat until all are knotted. Transfer them all to the lined tray.
Melt the butter (or oil). Whisk through the minced garlic and Italian herbs. Use a pastry brush and brush the tops of each garlic knot.
Bake the garlic knots for 20 minutes, or until just golden on top. Remove from the oven and cover them with a dish cloth or towel for around 5 minutes, to keep the insides of the knots fluffy. Remove and then re-brush with more garlic butter.

Notes

TO STORE. Store leftovers in an airtight container, and they’ll keep fresh for at least 5 days.

TO FREEZE. Place cooled garlic knots in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 6 months.

TO REHEAT. Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes or air fry at 375F for 4-5 minutes or until crisp.

Recipe variations

Add more garlic. Really, you can add as much garlic as you can handle. Just remember, for every extra spoonful of garlic, add an extra spoonful of oil or butter. Alternatively, you can add a dash of garlic powder.
Switch up the seasonings. Add parmesan cheese, paprika, or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Garnish. For a pop of color, top the knots with fresh parsley or basil.
