Description
Soft and fluffy small batch garlic knots brushed with nutty brown butter, fresh garlic, parsley, and finished with grated parmesan. Perfect as a cozy side or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- ½ cup warm water
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Add warm water and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Divide dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope and tie into a knot. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Cover loosely and let rise for 30 to 45 minutes.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown.
- While knots bake, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until golden brown and fragrant. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and mix in parsley.
- Brush warm knots generously with the brown butter mixture and sprinkle with grated parmesan. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use warm, not hot, water to avoid damaging the yeast.
- Brush the knots twice with butter for extra flavor.
- Freshly grated parmesan melts and tastes better than pre-shredded.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
