Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet active dry yeast (2¼ tsp)
¾ cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
1 tbsp sugar
½ tsp salt
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top; let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Mix in salt and flour until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth.
Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Punch down dough; divide into 12 pieces, rolling each into a rope and tying it into a knot.
Melt butter with minced garlic in a saucepan over low heat. Brush knots with garlic butter.
Arrange knots on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
