Instructions

Proof. Add lukewarm water to a large mixing bowl. Add the yeast and sugar and mix well. Allow the mixture to stand for 20 minutes to proof. The proofed mixture should be foamy and doubled in size.

Make Dough. Add the flour, garlic salt, salt, egg, and softened butter to the proofed yeast. Mix until all is combined and the dough comes together. Dough will be elastic and slightly sticky.

First Rise. Gather the dough into a ball and place dough in a large, lightly oiled bowl. Turn the dough over, so all sides are lightly covered with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean, damp towel or cling wrap and allow the dough to rise until quadrupled in size, about 2 hours.

Make Garlic Butter. While the dough is rising, melt the butter in a very small sauce pan. Stir in the vegetable oil and garlic and cook over very low heat for 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat, pour into a small bowl, and set aside.

Preheat & Prepare. Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Form the Knots. Gently punch down the dough and shape it into a rectangle. Cut the rectangle into 20 strips. Shape each strip into a 6” rope and tie it into a simple knot.

Second Rising. Dip each knot into the garlic butter and place the knots on the parchment lined baking sheet. Let the knots rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Bake. Just prior to baking, sprinkle the knots with the Parmesan cheese and the herbs. Bake the knots for 15 to 18 minutes or until they are lightly golden brown.

Drizzle and Serve. Remove the bread knots from the oven and drizzle them with any remaining garlic butter. Serve warm & Enjoy!
