Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Warm water (about 110°F)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 8 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine.

Step 2

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water and olive oil. Mix until the dough starts to come together.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 6

Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a clean surface. Divide the dough into 24 equal portions.

Step 7

Roll each portion into a rope about 6-8 inches long and tie it into a simple knot. Place the knots on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Cover the baking sheets loosely with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let the knots rise again for 20-30 minutes.

Step 9

While the knots are rising, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.

Step 10

Brush the garlic butter generously over the knots just before baking.

Step 11

Bake the knots in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 12

Immediately after removing the knots from the oven, brush them with any remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy!
