Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
Optional Additions:
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping/Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon coarse salt (for sprinkling)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 400F (200C) and arrange parchment paper on a baking sheet for optimal preparation.
- Combine self-rising flour and Greek yogurt in a large mixing bowl, blending thoroughly until a cohesive dough emerges. If utilizing all-purpose flour, incorporate baking powder and salt before integrating with yogurt.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured workspace and gently manipulate for 1-2 minutes, developing a smooth and elastic consistency.
- Segment the dough into miniature portions, carefully crafting bite-sized spherical or elongated shapes resembling traditional pretzel forms.
- Carefully arrange the crafted dough pieces on the prepared baking sheet, positioning them with slight separation to ensure even heat distribution.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the exterior transforms into a rich, golden-brown hue, indicating perfect doneness.
- For an authentic flavor profile, immediately brush the freshly baked morsels with melted butter and dust with coarse salt crystals.
- Serve these delectable bites while warm, accompanied by complementary dipping sauces like tangy mustard or creamy cheese sauce for an enhanced culinary experience.
Notes
- Choose high-protein Greek yogurt for a creamier, richer dough texture that ensures better binding and lift.
- Work quickly when kneading to prevent the dough from becoming too warm, which can make it sticky and difficult to shape.
- Experiment with alternative flour options like whole wheat or gluten-free blends for dietary adaptations without compromising the recipe’s core technique.
- For a lighter bite, use low-fat Greek yogurt and reduce salt content to create a healthier version that still maintains delicious flavor and texture.
