Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 2 cups gluten free flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 cups fat free Greek yogurt

Garlic Butter Topping

  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Garnish

  • 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Italian parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, kosher salt, and baking powder until well combined.
  3. Form Dough: Stir in the fat free Greek yogurt into the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft and cohesive dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.
  4. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook gently for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant but not browned to infuse the butter with garlic flavor.
  5. Roll and Assemble: Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle approximately 12×10 inches. Brush the entire surface evenly with the garlic butter. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese and chopped Italian parsley evenly over the top.
  6. Shape Swirls: Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice the log into 1-inch thick swirls using a sharp knife. Arrange the swirls cut side up spaced slightly apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake: Bake the garlic swirls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve Warm: Remove the swirls from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm, ideally with marinara or arrabbiatta sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Serve with marinara or arrabbiatta sauce for a delicious dipping option.
  • Best enjoyed warm fresh from the oven for maximum flavor and texture.
  • Use gluten free flour blend that suits baking for best results.
  • Make sure not to brown the garlic in the butter to avoid bitterness.
