Homemade garlic knots work for any meal and are super easy to make. They're coated with a mouthwatering garlic spread made from butter, garlic powder, parmesan cheese, and fresh herbs! Serve them up with your favorite Italian dish and marinara sauce for dipping. It's the best combination!
Mix warm water, sugar and yeast together. Let that sit for 5 minutes.
Add flour and salt to the water, sugar, and yeast. Mix this until smooth and let it raise for 10 minutes. I used my kitchenaid mixer with the dough hook and it was so easy and worked great!
On a floured surface, roll your dough out about 1/2 inch thick. I used a pizza cutter to cut the dough in half and then in strips (about 8-10 inches) for the garlic knots.
Roll the strips in your hands to look like ropes and then tie in knots.
Place the knots on a greased baking sheet and allow them to rise for another 10 minutes.
Bake at 400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes.
While they are baking melt the butter and mix with garlic powder, parsley, and olive oil.
As soon as the garlic knots come out of the oven, brush the tops with the butter garlic mixture. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and enjoy!
