Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Stir in olive oil and salt. Gradually add flour, mixing until a dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Shape the Knots

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Punch down the risen dough and turn it onto a floured surface. Roll into ropes about 10 inches long, then tie into knots. Place on a greased baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Bake the Knots

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Garlic Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Toss the Knots

    Once the knots are baked, remove from the oven and immediately toss them in the garlic sauce until well coated.
