Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour or bread flour

Garlic Butter

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened (2 Tbsp + 6 Tbsp. divided)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Topping

  • grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl mix yeast, water, and sugar. Cover and let sit 5 minutes until bubbly. Add oil and salt.
  • Mix in flour, one cup at a time. Stir until dough comes together. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until soft. Add a splash of oil to the mixing bowl and place dough in the bowl.
  • Cover dough and let rise until doubled, about an hour. Punch dough down and roll out into a 12" x 18" rectangle.
  • Brush dough with 2 tablespoons of softened butter and fold in half. Use a pizza cutter to cut 12 strips (each about 1" wide).
  • Tie each strip into a knot and place them onto a greased baking sheet. Let rise for 30 minutes.
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Melt remaining 6 tablespoons of butter and add garlic powder and Italian seasoning to it. Stire. Brush garlic butter over garlic knots before baking.
  • Bake garlic knots in oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with remaining garlic butter when they come out of the oven and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
