# What You'll Need:
→ Protein Dough
01 - 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain, nonfat or low-fat
02 - 1 cup self-rising flour
03 - 1 scoop unflavored whey protein powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Filling
06 - 24 slices pepperoni
07 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
08 - 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
→ Garlic Butter
09 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
10 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
11 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
12 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
# How to Prepare:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, self-rising flour, protein powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead briefly until smooth.
03 - Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-inch rope.
04 - Flatten each rope slightly and fill the center with 2 slices pepperoni and a generous pinch of mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
05 - Pinch the dough to seal the filling, then gently tie each filled rope into a knot, tucking the ends underneath.
06 - Place knots on the prepared baking sheet.
07 - In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt. Brush half the garlic butter over the knots.
08 - Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
09 - Remove from oven and immediately brush with remaining garlic butter. Serve warm.
