Equipment

  • stand mixer
  • Dough Hook
  • Mixing Bowl
  • baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Pizza Cutter
  • pastry brush

Ingredients
  

Homemade Dough

  • 1 cups warm water (between 100–110°F, 38–43°C)
  • 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast (1 standard packet)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3.5 cups all-purpose flour (about 450g)

Topping

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional after baking
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley optional after baking

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Whisk the warm water, yeast, and granulated sugar together in the bowl of your stand mixer. Cover and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Add the olive oil (or butter), salt, garlic powder, and half of the flour. Beat for 15 seconds, then add the remaining flour. Beat on low speed for 2 minutes.
  • Knead the dough for 5 minutes until soft and slightly tacky. If too sticky, sprinkle with flour.
  • Lightly grease a large bowl and place the dough in it, covering to rise at room temperature for 1–2 hours.
  • Punch down the dough, shape into a log, and cut into 16 strips. Roll each strip into 8-inch ropes and tie into knots.
  • Let the shaped knots rest for 30-45 minutes until slightly puffed.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
  • Stir the melted butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt together. Brush on the knots before baking.
  • Bake for 20-23 minutes until golden brown. Brush with remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with cheese and parsley if desired.
  • Serve plain or with marinara sauce for dipping.
  • Store leftover knots at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

Dough can be frozen or made overnight. Shaped knots can also be frozen for later use.
