Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 cup oat fiber
  • 1/2 cup vital wheat gluten
  • 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Substitutions:

  • Flaxseed: Chia seeds or ground almonds can be used as a substitute.
  • Vital Wheat Gluten: If you’re following a strict gluten-free diet, consider using a gluten-free flour blend, but note that the texture may change.
  • Parmesan Cheese: Any hard cheese like Pecorino Romano can be used in place of Parmesan.

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast:
    In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 12 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy.

  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together ground flaxseed, oat fiber, vital wheat gluten, and oat flour.

  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    Once the yeast mixture is foamy, fold in the dry ingredients. Add olive oil and minced garlic, then mix until well combined. If you have a dough hook, use it on low speed for 1 minute.

  4. Knead the Dough:
    Increase the speed and mix for about 4 minutes until a dough ball forms. If you love kneading dough, this is the fun part! Work the dough for a few minutes, then shape it into a flat ball.

  5. Shape the Poppers:
    Cut the dough into 3 sections, then divide each section into small chunks (around 30 total). Place them on a baking sheet, making sure there’s space between them as they’ll rise.

  6. Let the Poppers Rise:
    Cover the dough balls with a towel and let them rise for 1 hour in a warm place. They will double in size.

  7. Bake:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the poppers have risen, bake them for 22-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.

  8. Finish with Garlic Butter & Parmesan:
    Remove from the oven and immediately brush with melted butter and garlic. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and serve warm.
