Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
1 cup warm water (110°F)
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Optional: marinara or Alfredo sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Activate yeast – In a bowl, mix warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit 5–8 minutes until foamy.
-
Make dough – Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8 minutes until smooth.
-
First rise – Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 1 hour until doubled.
-
Shape knots – Punch down dough. Divide into 12 pieces. Roll each into a rope and tie into a knot.
-
Bake – Place knots on a parchment-lined sheet. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes until golden.
-
Garlic butter glaze – Mix melted butter, garlic, and parsley. Brush over warm knots.
Serve – Enjoy warm with marinara or Alfredo dipping sauce.
Notes
Swap parsley for fresh basil for a twist.
Use pre-made pizza dough to save time.
Best served fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes.
