Ingredients

Knots

  • 1 tsp Instant Yeast
  • ½ Cup Water, lukewarm (95° - 110° F)
  • 1½ Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 Tbsp Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp Fine Sea Salt
  • 1½ tsp Olive Oil

Garlic Butter

  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • Parmesan (Optional)
  • Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (Optional)
  • Flaky Salt (Optional)

Instructions

  • Mix the yeast into the water thoroughly and set aside while prepping the rest of the ingredients.
  • Mix the salt, sugar, and flour thoroughly in a bowl and set aside.
  • In a large bowl (or your stand mixer bowl with the paddle attachment) Add half of the dry ingredients mixture and the yeast water. Mix with a wooden spoon (or on low with your stand mixer) until combined.
  • Add the oil and mix until combined (turn the speed up one notch on a stand mixer).
  • (If using a stand mixer, swap to a dough hook. Make sure you scrape the dough off of the paddle attachment) Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix until the dough is smooth (turn up to a medium/medium low speed on the stand mixer)
  • Add the dough to a greased bowl and cover with greased plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature for about an hour (until the dough has doubled in size)
  • Punch the dough down once it has risen and cut into 12 even pieces (they can be any shape since we will be rolling these)
  • Roll those 12 pieces into balls and then roll them out into thin logs that are about 8 inches in length.
  • Cut those logs in half and tie each half into knots.
  • Set the knots on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and cover with greased cling wrap. Let rise for an hour.
  • Once proofed, place the knots in a 400° F oven for 10 - 13 minutes.
  • While the knots are baking, melt the butter and grate the garlic cloves into the butter. Let the garlic steep.
  • Once you remove the knots from the oven, brush the garlic butter on.
  • Sprinkle on any option flaky salt, crushed red pepper, or grated parmesan and enjoy!
