Garlic Bread Knots

Recipe:

Dough:

    •    5 cups all-purpose flour

    •    1 tablespoon yeast

    •    1 tablespoon salt

    •    2 tablespoons sugar

    •    ¼ cup olive oil

    •    1½ cups warm water

Topping:

    •    1 stick butter

    •    ½ tablespoon salt

    •    ½ tablespoon garlic powder

    •    4 cloves garlic, minced

    •    ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

    •    ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Add the olive oil and warm water, then mix until a soft dough forms. Knead until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise until doubled in size.

2. Shape the Knots: Once risen, divide the dough into pieces, roll into ropes, and tie each into a knot. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let rest for 15–20 minutes.

3. Bake: Preheat the oven to 380°F (190°C). Bake the knots for 20–22 minutes, or until golden brown.

4. Make the Topping: While baking, melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in salt, garlic powder, and minced garlic. Cook briefly until fragrant.

5. Finish: Brush the warm knots generously with the garlic butter. Sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley.

Enjoy warm!
