Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for about 5 minutes or until frothy.

Step 2

Add olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture.

Step 3

Gradually add all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough into a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.

Step 8

Roll each piece into a rope about 6 inches long. Tie each rope into a knot and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until they are lightly golden brown.

Step 10

While the knots are baking, melt unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Mince garlic and add it to the butter, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in chopped fresh parsley.

Step 11

Once out of the oven, immediately brush the baked knots with the garlic butter.

Step 12

Serve warm, enjoy the perfectly seasoned, sugar-free garlic knots as a delightful side or snack.
