Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
Slowly pour in the milk while stirring to form a soft dough. Knead the dough lightly until it comes together and is smooth.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope about 6 inches long and tie it gently into a knot.
Place the knots onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then stir in the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, careful not to brown the garlic.
Brush the garlic butter generously over the knots, reserving a small amount for later.
Bake the knots in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Once baked, brush the knots with the remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese, if using.
Serve warm and enjoy your easy homemade garlic knots!
