Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 large Yellow onion (finely sliced)
• 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.75 cup Sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for dip)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 6

Punch down the dough and divide it into 16 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope and tie it into a knot.

Step 7

Place the knots on the prepared baking sheets, cover with a clean towel, and let them rise for 15 minutes.

Step 8

Brush the knots with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 9

While the knots bake, prepare the sweet onion dip. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 10

Add the sliced onions and brown sugar, and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring often, until caramelized.

Step 11

Remove the onions from heat and let cool slightly. In a mixing bowl, combine the caramelized onions, cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.

Step 12

Melt the butter in a small pan and stir in the minced garlic and chopped parsley.

Step 13

Brush the baked knots with the garlic butter mixture as soon as they come out of the oven.

Step 14

Serve the warm knots alongside the sweet onion dip and enjoy!
