Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Warm water (110°F - 115°F)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons Optional: garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add olive oil, salt, and 1.5 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour, kneading the dough by hand or with a dough hook attachment on a stand mixer, until the dough is smooth and elastic (about 8–10 minutes).

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into an 8–10-inch rope and tie it into a knot, tucking the ends underneath.

Step 7

Place the knots onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart. Cover with a towel and let them rise for another 15–20 minutes.

Step 8

Bake the knots in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 9

While the knots bake, melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Stir in the minced garlic and optional garlic powder, cooking for 1–2 minutes to infuse the flavor.

Step 10

Remove the baked knots from the oven and immediately brush them with the garlic butter mixture.

Step 11

Sprinkle the warm knots with Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy these soft, savory treats!
