Serving Size 12
Equipment
- 1 stand mixer or bowl
- 1 baking tray
- 1 silicone baking mat
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- 1 ¼ cups water warm
- 4 cups all-purpose flour 480g
- 1 ¼ teaspoon salt divided
- 6 tablespoons vegan butter 80g, melted
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped, or 2 teaspoons dried
Instructions
- Add the yeast, sugar, oil, and water to the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Add it to the water and yeast mixture. Mix on medium speed, or by hand, until a dough forms. It should be tacky, but shouldn't stick to your fingers. Add more flour by the teaspoon if needed.
- Switch to low speed for 5 minutes, or knead by hand, until the dough is elastic and ready to rise. Press your finger lightly into the dough. If the dough slowly bounces back, it's ready. Cover and rise for 1 hour.
- Punch the dough down and turn it onto a lightly floured countertop. Roll the dough into a long log and divide it into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a long log and tie it into a knot, like you would a piece of string. Fold the ends until the knot.
- Transfer the knots to a baking tray lined with parchment or a nonstick silicone mat. Cover and rise for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C.
- Combine the melted butter, garlic, remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and fresh parsley. Brush the knots with the garlic butter, saving some for after baking. Bake for 22-24 minutes.
- After baking, brush the garlic knots with the remaining garlic butter. Serve hot or let them cool.
