Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.5 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 cup Water
• 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and sugar.

Step 2

Heat the low-sodium chicken broth and water together until warm to the touch but not hot (about 110°F / 43°C).

Step 3

Pour the warm liquid into the flour mixture and stir until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of flour until a dough begins to form. Knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-inch long rope, then tie each rope into a knot and tuck the ends underneath.

Step 8

Place the knots on the prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rise for another 15-20 minutes.

Step 9

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter with olive oil over low heat. Add minced garlic and garlic powder, stirring constantly, and cook until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.

Step 10

Brush half of the garlic butter mixture over the garlic knots.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the knots are golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and immediately brush the remaining garlic butter over the hot knots.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy your tasty Low Sodium Garlic Knots.
