Tips to Make Gluten Free Garlic Knots
- Flour Choice: Use a good quality gluten-free flour mix for the best texture.
- Avoid Over-Kneading: Just a gentle touch is best; you want them soft and airy.
- Experiment with Flavors: Try adding different herbs or cheese into the dough for a twist. Want a cheesy garlic knot? Go for it!
- Check your Oven: Baking times can vary, so keep an eye on those knots to prevent burning.
- Let Them Cool: Give them a few minutes before digging in so you don’t burn your mouth—trust me! 😅
Variation
Looking for a twist? Try adding dried oregano or Italian seasoning for an extra flavor punch. Want to make these vegan? Simply swap the butter for a plant-based alternative and skip the dairy. The knots will still be delightful!
FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and let it rise before shaping the knots. Just store them in the fridge overnight.
What’s the best way to freeze them?
After baking and cooling, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a zip bag.
Can I use regular flour instead?
If gluten isn’t a concern, regular all-purpose flour works perfectly as well. Just modify the quantity if needed!
