Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
Step 2
Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing gently. Once combined, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 6
Punch down the risen dough and transfer it back to your floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a smooth ball.
Step 7
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
Step 8
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast.
Step 9
Brush each dough ball with the oil mixture, ensuring they are completely coated.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are lightly golden brown.
