Ingredients
  

Dough:
  • 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp yeast
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 1/2 cups flour
Parmesan Garlic Butter:
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 3 tbsp Parmesan cheese

Method
 

To Make the Dough:
  1. In a mixer with the dough attachment, add the water, sugar, salt, yeast, oil, and then slowly add the flour while mixing. Mix and knead on low to medium speed for about 5 minutes until dough is soft and smooth.
  2. Remove dough hook and cover dough with plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubled in size, about an hour.
  3. Place dough on floured surface and with your hands shape it into a rectangle. Cut the dough in half lengthwise with a dough cutter and then cut each strip into ten equal pieces.
  4. Roll each piece into a 6-8” log and tie into a knot. Place them on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake in 400 degree oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately brush with the garlic butter.
To Make the Parmesan Garlic Butter:
  1. Melt the butter in a small bowl and add the garlic powder, parsley, and Parmesan. With a pastry brush, brush the butter over the hot knots.
  2. They are ready to be enjoyed!
