# What you'll need:
→ Protein Dough
01 - 1 1/4 cups self-rising flour
02 - 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Filling
04 - 18 slices pepperoni
05 - 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
→ Garlic Butter
06 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
07 - 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
08 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
09 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

10 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
# Method:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Combine self-rising flour, Greek yogurt, and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir until a shaggy dough forms, then knead gently until smooth for approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
03 - Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 7-inch rope.
04 - Flatten each rope into a strip approximately 1.5 inches wide.
05 - Place 1 to 2 slices of pepperoni and a small mound of mozzarella along the center of each strip.
06 - Carefully roll up each strip lengthwise to encase the filling, pinching the seam to seal.
07 - Tie each filled rope into a loose knot and tuck the ends underneath.
08 - Place knots on the prepared baking sheet with seam side down.
09 - Mix melted butter with minced garlic, parsley, and salt in a small bowl.
10 - Brush half of the garlic butter over the knots.
11 - Bake for 16 to 18 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
12 - Remove from oven, brush with remaining garlic butter, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
13 - Serve warm, optionally with marinara sauce for dipping.
