These Homemade Garlic Knots are soft, fluffy, and brushed with a flavorful garlic butter made with fresh garlic, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese adds the perfect savory finish. They are an easy homemade bread to serve with soup, pasta, salad, or your favorite Italian meal.
In a saucepan, slowly warm the butter and milk together. Make sure it doesn't exceed 100 degrees after heating. If needed, allow it to cool.
Add the honey and yeast to the milk mixture. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Add the egg and stir with a fork until combined.
Add the yeast mixture along with 2 cups of flour to your stand mixer. Mix with the dough hook until combined. Add the remaining flour a little at a time, mixing until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Turn the mixer on and knead for 3-4 minutes.
Spray your work surface with non-stick cooking spray. Divide the dough into 12 pieces. Roll out each piece into an 8-inch rope and tie it into a knot. Place on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Cover and let rest for 10-20 minutes.
Bake at 400 degrees for 9-12 minutes until golden brown.
In a bowl, combine the butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder together. Brush on warm knots, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Makes 12 knots.
