Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon instant yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt (for garlic butter)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 7-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a 10-inch rope and tie each rope into a knot.
Place the knots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Bake the knots for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
While the knots bake, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the melted butter and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
Remove the bread knots from the oven and immediately brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture.
Serve warm.
