Ingredients
Dough
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon honey or granulated sugar
- 1 cup warm water, warmed to 110F
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Garlic Topping
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
After Baking
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Dried parsley
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, add the yeast, honey (or granulated sugar), warm water, bread flour, salt, garlic and onion powder, olive oil and softened butter. Knead for 5 minutes.
Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl. Spray top of dough with nonstick cooking spray. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
2. Punch the dough down and transfer to a very lightly floured surface. Divide into 12 roughly equal pieces of dough.
3. Preheat the oven. Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
4. Shape the garlic knots. Working with one piece at a time, roll into a 12-inch long rope. Tie into a knot (cross the two ends, then tuck one end, pointing up and one end pointing down). Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pieces of dough.
5. Make the garlic butter. In a small bowl, add melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, oregano and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine.
6. Add the garlic butter and bake. Brush the garlic butter over the rolls. Bake in preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the rolls are lightly golden brown.
7. When the rolls are done baking, brush melted butter over rolls, then add freshly grated parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!
