Learn to make soft, buttery garlic knots from scratch. These easy bread knots are perfect for pizza night or any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup warm water (105-115°F)
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for greasing
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  3. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Lightly grease a clean bowl with olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
  6. Roll each piece into a rope about 8 inches long. Tie each rope into a knot.
  7. Place the knots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  9. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley.
  10. Brush the tops of the knots with the garlic butter mixture.
  11. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  12. While the knots are still warm, brush them with the remaining garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture.
  • These garlic knots are best served warm.
  • You can make the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight.
