Step 2: Mix the Dough
Add gluten-free flour, olive oil, garlic powder, and salt into the yeast mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms. Gluten-free dough may feel slightly different than traditional dough—that’s normal.
Step 3: Knead Gently
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for 2 minutes until smooth and cohesive. No need for vigorous kneading!

Step 4: Shape the Knots
Divide the dough into 10 equal portions. Roll each piece into a 6-inch rope and tie it into a knot. Arrange the knots on a greased baking sheet.
Step 5: Let the Dough Rise
Cover the knots with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm spot for 20 minutes. Watch as they puff slightly, ready to bake.
