Delicious and easy homemade garlic knots that are soft inside, golden and slightly crisp outside, brushed with a fragrant garlic-parsley butter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 23 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a rough dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Punch down the dough and divide it into 10–12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a short rope and tie into a knot (tuck the ends under).
  7. Arrange the knots on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and garlic powder if using. Brush each knot generously with the garlic butter.
  9. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the knots are puffed and golden brown. During the last minute, brush with any leftover butter for extra shine.

Notes

Serve warm with marinara sauce or alongside your favorite pasta. Can also be frozen and reheated.
