Ingredients

  • For the Dough:
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • For the Garlic Butter:
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Punch down the dough and divide into 10–12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope and tie into a knot.
  • Place knots on the prepared baking sheet. Let rest for 10–15 minutes.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • While baking, mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt.
  • Brush warm knots generously with garlic butter. Sprinkle with Parmesan if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra garlicky flavor, brush knots again just before serving.
  • Can be frozen before or after baking. Reheat in the oven to refresh.
  • Add Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes to the butter for a flavor twist.
  • Substitute with store-bought pizza dough for a shortcut.
