Homemade Garlic Knots
Homemade garlic knots are my favorite rolls. A yeast roll that is tied into a knot and then baked and brushed with a savory garlic butter sauce. Serve with dinner, pair with marinara sauce, or any other way you want to eat them.

Ingredients
Dough
- 1 cup warm water 105-110ยฐF
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- 2 1/2 cup 312g all-purpose flour or bread flour plus extra for dusting
- 2 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
Garlic Butter
- 4 tbsp ยฝ stick unsalted butter room temperature
- 4 clove garlic finely minced (about 2 tablespoons
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley minced
Method
-
In a large bowl, or bowl of a stand mixer stir together warm water (105-110ยฐF), sugar, and instant yeast. Let sit for exactly 5 minutes until foam forms, indicating active yeast. Add flour, salt, and oil to the bowl. Stir until the mixture forms a rough dough.
-
If you are using a stand mixer: Set mixer to low speed (2-3 setting). Attach the dough hook and knead for 8 minutes, until the dough is smooth, elastic.
-
If you are kneading with your hands: Lightly flour a clean surface using flour. Knead the dough for 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. The dough should feel slightly tacky but not stick to your hands.
-
Lightly oil a clean large bowl. Gently turn the dough to coat with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, lid or clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1 ยฝ to 2 hours, or until it has doubled in volume.
-
Gently press down the dough and then divide it into 12 equal pieces. To divide evenly: first cut dough in half, then each half into six pieces. Roll each piece into an approximately ยฝ-inch thick, 8-inch long rope.
