Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 quarters Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix the warm water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. The water should be between 105°F and 110°F to activate the yeast properly.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients while stirring. Continue stirring until the dough starts to come together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Lightly oil a clean bowl with a bit of olive oil and place the dough in it. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano. Brush this mixture over the dough balls.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough balls are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free soft and chewy dough balls as a delicious snack or appetizer!
