Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 3 and 3/4 cups bread flour
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 envelope active dry yeast
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 and 1/2 cups warm water, 110 – 115 degrees (F)
  • 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons olive oil divided

For the garlic coating:

  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup fresh parsley, minced
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt or garlic powder
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated

Instructions

  1. For the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook add the bread flour, sugar, yeast, and salt; gently whisk to combine. Turn mixer on low speed and add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Beat until the dough forms a ball around the hook. If the dough is super sticky, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a solid ball. If the dough is too dry, add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead into a smooth, firm ball.
  2. Grease a large bowl with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil. Add the dough, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and place the bowl in a warm area to rise for 90 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 2 equal pieces. Place each round of dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and let them rest for 10 minutes. Dust the top of each round of dough with a little flour and, using a sharp knife, slice each into quarters. Press each quarter into a rectangle, then slice in half again. You should have 16 pieces of dough.
  4. Dust each piece with a little flour and quickly shape into individual balls. Roll out each ball into a long rope then tie it into a knot. Place the knots on the prepared baking sheet, covered loosely with plastic wrap, and set aside for 30 minutes. The knots will rise a little more during this time.
  5. Preheat oven to 450 degrees (F). Remove the plastic wrap from the garlic knots. Brush with a little garlic butter if desired (this optional). Then place the garlic knots in the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes, or until knots are golden brown and firm.
  6. Cool for 5 minutes, then brush the freshly baked knots with the garlic coating. Sprinkle with cheese and serve warm!
