Garlic Knots Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Make the Dough

   In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water and add the yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Slowly add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour, mixing until a dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead the Dough

   Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

3. 3

   Shape the Knots

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Punch down the risen dough and turn it onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 6-8 inches long, then tie into a knot and tuck the ends underneath.

4. 4

   Prepare the Garlic Topping

   In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, chopped parsley, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well.

5. 5

   Bake the Knots

   Place the knots on a greased baking sheet. Brush the garlic topping over each knot. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your garlic knots warm!
