Introduction

Welcome back to another exciting recipe by Alicia! Today, we are going to explore the wonderful world of two-ingredient dough and create some delicious air fryer garlic knots. This versatile dough is easy to make and can be used in various ways, but today we are focusing on these flavorful garlic knots. Whether you choose to use an air fryer or an oven, I'll provide instructions for both options. So let's gather our ingredients and get started on this mouthwatering recipe!

Two Ingredient Dough Recipe

The star of the show is our two-ingredient dough. It's incredibly simple to make, requiring only self-rising flour and plain non-fat Greek yogurt. This dough is the perfect base for our garlic knots, providing a light and fluffy texture. Plus, we'll add a touch of granulated garlic to infuse even more flavor into the dough.

Ingredients

Here's a breakdown of the ingredients you'll need for this recipe:

1 ¼ cup self-rising flour
¾ cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
¼ teaspoon granulated garlic

For the garlic butter sauce:

5 tablespoons of low-fat butter spread or margarine
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

For topping:

Grated Parmesan cheese (or finely shredded Parmesan)

Making the Dough

To begin, gather a medium-sized bowl and add the self-rising flour, along with the granulated garlic. Mix these dry ingredients together before adding the plain non-fat Greek yogurt. Stir everything until well combined. At this point, it's time to get your hands dirty! Using clean hands, knead the mixture in the bowl until it forms a cohesive dough. Take a few minutes to knead it to the desired consistency. If needed, transfer the dough to a flat surface, such as a cutting board, for easier kneading.

Shaping the Garlic Knots

Once the dough is ready, it's time to shape our garlic knots. Divide the dough into six equal parts and roll each portion into a 10-inch long piece. Next, cut each piece in half and shape them into knots. You may need to pull and adjust the dough a bit to create the perfect knot. Repeat this process for the remaining dough portions until all the knots are formed.

Cooking Options

Now, it's time to choose your preferred cooking method. If you have an air fryer, like me, we'll be using that today. However, I'll also provide instructions for baking them in the oven. Make sure to preheat your air fryer or oven according to the instructions for each appliance.

For air frying, line your air fryer with a silicone lining or lightly grease the basket with olive oil. Place the garlic knots in the air fryer, leaving some space between them to ensure even cooking. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches. Air fry the knots at 400°F for approximately 5 minutes or until they turn golden brown.

If you prefer baking, preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the instructions. Arrange the garlic knots on a baking sheet and bake them until golden brown. The exact cooking time may vary, so keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.

Making the Garlic Butter Sauce

While the garlic knots are cooking, let's prepare the delectable garlic butter sauce. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the low-fat butter spread or margarine. Add the minced garlic and Italian seasoning to the melted butter, and mix everything together until well combined.

Topping the Garlic Knots

Once the garlic knots are cooked to perfection, transfer them to a plate. Use a brush to generously coat each knot with the garlic butter sauce. For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top. If preferred, you can use finely shredded Parmesan instead. Finally, for a touch of color and presentation, sprinkle some dried parsley over the knots.

Serving Suggestions

These air fryer garlic knots are incredibly delicious on their own, but they can also be enjoyed with a side of marinara sauce. For a satisfying dipping experience, serve them with a half cup of your favorite marinara sauce. Feel free to adjust the portion size according to your preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I make the two-ingredient dough in advance? A: Yes, you can prepare the two-ingredient dough in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. Just make sure to tightly wrap it with plastic wrap or keep it in an airtight container.

Q: How do I reheat the garlic knots? A: To reheat the garlic knots, simply warm them in the air fryer or oven until heated through. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become dry. Alternatively, you can microwave them for a short time, but the texture may not be as crispy.

Q: Can I freeze the garlic knots? A: Yes, you can freeze the garlic knots for later use. Allow them to cool completely, then place them in a freezer-safe container or bag. When you're ready to enjoy them, thaw them in the refrigerator and reheat them using your preferred method.

Q: Can I use whole wheat flour instead of self-rising flour? A: Unfortunately, whole wheat flour cannot be directly substituted for self-rising flour in this recipe. Self-rising flour contains leavening agents that give the dough its light and fluffy texture. However, you can make your own self-rising flour by combining whole wheat flour with baking powder and salt.
