Ingredients
All-purpose flour
Active dry yeast
Warm water
Fresh garlic cloves
Salt
Sugar
Butter
Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Activate the yeast by combining warm water and sugar in a bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter; mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour).
Punch down the risen dough, divide into small pieces, roll each into a 6-inch rope, and tie into knots.
Place knots on parchment-lined baking sheets, brush with melted butter mixed with minced garlic, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
Experiment with adding herbs like rosemary or cheese such as mozzarella for extra flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days or freeze them for up to three months.
