Garlic Parmesan Knots - Little dough knots brushed with garlic and parmesan cheese and served with marinara sauce. Bet you can’t stop dipping after one!

Ever since discovering the 2ID recipe I’ve been wanting to make these garlic knots with the dough. The only tricky part about these little knots is the making the knot itself. Don’t worry, I’ll have some step by step photos below. These garlic knots can be either baked in the oven or cooked in your air fryer.

No Yeast or Rise Time
The great thing about this dough made with self-rising flour and greek yogurt is that you don’t need to let the dough rise. There is already baking powder in the flour itself and that helps the dough rise. The original recipe I had for this dough called for using a can of store bought pizza dough and you can go ahead and use that too if you do not have any time to make these.

Ingredients Needed
- Self rising flour - Self-rising flour is a type of flour that already contains baking powder and salt, which are essential ingredients in many baked goods.
- Greek yogurt (nonfat) - is considered great for a variety of reasons. It is typically higher in protein and lower in sugar than regular yogurt, making it a good choice for those looking to maintain a balanced diet.
- Light butter - I like I can't believe it's not butter
- Parsley - is a type of herb that is commonly used as a garnish or seasoning in various dishes. It has a bright green color and a mild, slightly bitter taste. Parsley is a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as minerals such as potassium and iron.
- Garlic powder - is made from dehydrated garlic cloves and like the chili powder above it gets pulverized into a powder or flour consistency.
- Parmesan cheese - Parmesan cheese is a hard, granular cheese that originated in Italy. It is typically made from cow's milk and has a sharp, nutty flavor. Parmesan cheese is often grated and used as a topping for pasta dishes, salads, and other foods.

How to make Garlic Knots
Combine the greek yogurt and self-rising flour together in a bowl. Mix well and dump out the dough onto a work surface. I have made this dough so many times that I know there’s always going to be that leftover flour that doesn’t combine into the rest of the dough.

Form the dough into a ball with your hands on a work surface and cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. I use a bench scraper for this.
Let the dough sit in the fridge for a while before you start working with it. I find that this makes it easier to work with. Some people complain that the dough is sticky. Flour your hands or wet your hands when you are ready to start working with the dough.
Roll the dough balls out into a long rope.


Tie the dough up like you were making a knot on your tennis shoe.

Brush the dough with butter and spices and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
