Instructions

In a large bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy and activated.

Add flour, salt, garlic seasoning, softened butter, and oil. Mix and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Divide the dough into 4 large portions. Roll each piece into a rope and tie into a knot. Tuck the ends underneath. Place on a parchment-lined tray, cover, and let rise again for 30–40 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180 °C / 350 °F. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown.

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, parsley, and salt.

Immediately after baking, brush the hot knots generously with garlic butter. Cover lightly for 10 minutes to keep them soft and fluffy.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Master the Dough Temperature 🌡️
Use warm water between 110-115°F for optimal yeast activation; too hot kills the yeast, too cold slows fermentation. This ensures fluffy knots that rise properly and achieve the perfect texture.
Infuse Garlic Butter Early 🧈
Prepare your garlic-herb butter 30 minutes before assembly and let it sit at room temperature so it's spreadable yet flavorful when you coat the dough strips. This prevents tearing and ensures even distribution.
Perfect Your Knot Technique 🎀
Roll dough strips to uniform thickness (about ½-inch) and tie loosely in a knot, then tuck the ends underneath for a polished appearance that holds its shape during baking.
Double-Brush for Maximum Flavor 🖌️
Apply garlic-herb butter once before baking and again immediately after removing from the oven while the knots are still hot, allowing the second coat to melt into the warm dough for luxurious richness.
Use Fresh Garlic and Parsley 🌿
Mince fresh garlic and parsley finely and add them to the butter just before application to preserve their vibrant flavor, as dried alternatives can taste stale and lose their aromatic qualities during baking.
