Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 12 small cubes of mozzarella cheese
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold in the Greek yogurt until a soft dough forms. Knead lightly until smooth.
- Shape the Bombs: Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Flatten each piece, place a cube of mozzarella in the center, and seal the edges tightly to form a ball.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley.
- Brush and Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam-side down. Brush each ball generously with garlic butter.
- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. For extra flavor, sprinkle Parmesan on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, garlicky goodness!
Notes
- Make sure the dough is sealed tightly around the cheese to prevent leakage during baking.
- You can substitute parsley with dried Italian seasoning for a different flavor profile.
