Ingredients

1 ½ cup warm water
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp active dry yeast
3-3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup butter melted

Garlic Butter

¼ cup butter melted
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

Lightly spray a glass bowl with cooking spray and set aside.
Add yeast, sugar, and salt to warm water. Let the mixture set for 5-10 minutes or until the top of the mixture forms bubbles.
Pour the mixture into the bowl of your mixer. Slowly add in small amounts of flour at a time and mix using the hook attachment.
Once the dough forms a ball on the bottom of the hook and most of the dough is removed from the sides of the bowl, stop adding flour. Add the dough to the prepared glass bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside. Let the dough rise for 45 mins. To an hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt ¼ cup of butter and evenly pour it on the baking sheet. Set aside.
Lightly flour a flat, clean section of your countertop. Roll a small section of dough until it is about ¾ of an inch thick. Cut it between 6 and 7 inches in length. Dust the dough with a tiny bit of flour and tie it in a knot. Place the knot on the buttered baking sheet. Continue with this step until all the dough has been used.
Bake the knots for 18-20 minutes, or until they are slightly golden brown. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and cool for a few minutes.
Melt ¼ cup of butter and mix in garlic salt and Italian seasoning. Gently brush the knot with the butter mixture, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

For the Perfect Rise: Make sure your yeast is fresh and add warm water, not hot.

For Extra Garlic Flavor: Use minced garlic and saute it briefly with the melted butter before brushing it on.

If You’re Mixing by Hand: You can mix this dough by hand if you don’t have a mixer. Just be sure to knead it really well! The dough should be smooth, elastic, and spring back when you poke it. When kneading by hand, you may need a little less flour than if you’re using the standing mixer.

Tying the Knots: You can tuck the ends underneath or leave them out, it's up to you.
