Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour / plain flour
  • tsp table salt more if using sea salt / kosher salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¾ cup fat free Greek yogurt I suggest FAGE or strained FF Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • sea salt
  • 1 tsp chopped chives parsley or coriander, optional
  • Calorie controlled spray oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 190oC / 375oF / Gas Mark 5. Line a baking sheet with  a silicone sheet or parchment paper. 
  • Place the flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl and mix to combine.
  • NOW THIS IS IMPORTANT. Before adding the yogurt drain off any excess liquid (not doing this will mean the dough is very sticky). 
  • Mix the flour mixture and yogurt together until combined and the mixture has come together into a dough. Cover your hands in flour and knead the dough 1 - 2 minutes. If the dough is too sticky you can add a little more flour. 
  • Divide the dough roughly into 14 pieces and using your hands lightly roll each piece into a small ball before placing on your prepared baking sheet. 
  • Lightly spray the top of the balls with spray oil.
  • Bake for 12 - 16 minutes. Check the dough balls at 12 minutes (preferably without opening the oven door), leaving them in the oven till they have risen and have turned golden brown. 
  • Whilst the dough balls are cooking, chop or mince the garlic into a small bowl, add the olive oil and some freshly milled sea salt. 
  • When the dough balls come out of the oven, brush them with the garlic and oil mix and sprinkle with freshly chopped herbs if required.
  • Enjoy!
