Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Cornmeal

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough begins to form.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle it lightly with cornmeal.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions.

Step 7

Roll each portion into a rope about 6-8 inches long and tie each rope into a loose knot. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each knot.

Step 8

Cover the knots with a kitchen towel and let them rise for 15 minutes.

Step 9

Bake the knots in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown.

Step 10

While the knots are baking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 11

Once the knots are out of the oven, immediately brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious 'Tied Up in Garlic Knots'!
