Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese (grated, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt.

Step 2

Add the warm water and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough begins to form.

Step 3

Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes by hand or 5-7 minutes with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Lightly oil a large bowl with olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 10-inch rope and tie it into a loose knot. Tuck the ends under if desired.

Step 7

Place the knots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Cover loosely with a kitchen towel and let rise for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 9

Bake the knots for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 10

While the knots are baking, prepare the garlic herb butter by combining the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and any remaining melted butter or olive oil in a small bowl.

Step 11

Brush the hot bread knots with the garlic herb butter immediately after removing them from the oven.

Step 12

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
