In a large bowl, combine the yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and warm milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. (Milk should be between 95°F and 115°F.)

Add the flour, remaining sugar, salt, eggs, garlic powder, scallions, melted butter, and the proofed yeast mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon for 2 to 3 minutes until fully combined. The dough will be soft and sticky.

Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1½ hours, or until nearly tripled in size.

Grease a baking pan with butter and lightly dust with flour. Shake off any excess and set aside.

Punch down the dough to release trapped air. Divide and shape into knots.

Arrange the knots in the prepared pan and let them rest for 15 minutes.

Brush with egg wash (1 egg + 2 tablespoons water, whisked). Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
