It's always seemed a little strange to me that we like to pair pizza with garlic bread or breadsticks and somehow call that a complete meal... Talk about carb overload! I'd much rather enjoy garlic knots as a flavorful side to go with my chicken and broccoli.

And, finding worthwhile gluten free pizza at restaurants can be difficult- I've never even seen gluten free garlic knots. But now, you can easily make your own!

Using just 4 ingredients, you can create a soft, gluten free dough. Then, simply roll, tie, brush with olive oil, and bake. In just 20 minutes your knots will be soft and fluffy on the inside and golden brown on the outside. Finally, brush or sauté in a skillet with some butter and garlic.

What are garlic knots?

Garlic knots are basically a form of garlic bread. They were first created in the 1940s as a way to make use of leftover pizza dough scraps. They were first spotted at a pizzeria in Brooklyn. Today, you can find garlic knots in most pizzerias and Italian restaurants.

Steps to Make Gluten Free Garlic Knots

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the dry ingredients. Then, beat in the yogurt.
2. In the mixing bowl, knead the bread 12-15 times, while adding more flour as needed. You want to create a just slightly sticky dough.  If desired, refrigerate dough.
3. Next, split the dough into 8 even sections. Then, roll each portion into a log. Cross the two ends and pull one through to create a knot.
4. Brush with olive oil and bake at 375 degrees for 20-22 minutes.
5. Then, add the knots to a warm skillet with butter and minced garlic. You can also brush with melted butter and a little garlic powder.
