Chef Marvel Cook
1 packet active dry yeast
1 tsp. sugar
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 eggs
1 tsp. extra virgin olive oi
1-lb. bag gluten-free all-purpose fl our
4 tsp. Cape Crystal xanthan gum
2 tsp. salt (divided)
3 tbs. butter
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tbs. parsley
3 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp. granulated garlic
1 tsp. red pepper fl akes (optional)
Parmesan cheese
Marinara (don’t be lazy, make your own)
STEP 1: In a large bowl, bloom yeast with warm water and sugar (about 5 mins).
STEP 2: Make Dough: Combine dry ingredients in separate bowl. Then add eggs and 1 tsp. olive oil to wet mixture. Add dry ingredients (xanthan gum, etc.). Mix until combined (I used a hand mixer for about 1 minute.) DON’T OVER-MIX. Cover with cloth or plastic wrap in bowl and let sit for 30 minutes.
STEP 3: In a small saucepan, sauté garlic in olive oil over medium-low heat. Add butter, salt, red pepper flakes, and granulated garlic. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
STEP 4: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush with olive oil. With an ice cream scooper, scoop balls of dough and place on baking sheet.
STEP 5: Brush butter topping before putting in a 425° oven. Cook for 20 minutes, brushing the bombs with butter topping halfway through.
STEP 6: Brush with remaining topping. Shave Parmesan cheese all over when they’re fresh out of the oven, and serve with your favorite marinara sauce.
