Equipment

  • Stand mixer (or large bowl and wooden spoon)
  • Clean kitchen towel
  • Baking sheet

Ingredients
  

Garlic Knots

  • 1 packet yeast
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ½ - 3 cups flour

Topping

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ¼ cup Parmesan grated (optional)
  • Marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix yeast, sugar, and water; let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  • Add flour, garlic powder, olive oil, and salt. Mix well, adding more flour or oil if needed.
  • Knead dough for 5 minutes until soft and slightly springy. Cover with a towel and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
  • Punch down the dough, then divide in half. Roll each half out to about 9-inch long.
  • Cut each rolled out dough into 9 strips, making 18 strips total. Tie each strip into a knot, tucking the ends underneath.
  • Place knots on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise for another hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Bake knots for 20-25 minutes, or until golden.
  • While baking, mix the topping ingredients.
  • Brush knots with the garlic topping as soon as they come out of the oven. Let cool slightly, then enjoy with marinara sauce!
