Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (356Β°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt, and sugar, ensuring all dry ingredients are evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the warm water and olive oil together.
Add the egg and Greek yogurt to the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until a dough is formed. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
Lightly dust your hands with gluten-free flour and pinch off a small portion of the dough, roughly the size of a golf ball. Roll it between your hands to form a smooth ball and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat this process with the remaining dough, spacing the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the dough balls are lightly golden and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
