Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Stir and let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough and divide into 10–12 pieces. Roll each into a 6-inch rope and tie into knots.
Place knots on the baking sheet, cover, and let rest for 15 minutes.
Bake for 12–15 minutes until lightly golden.
While baking, mix melted butter with garlic, parsley, and salt.
Brush hot knots with garlic butter glaze and optionally sprinkle with vegan parmesan or nutritional yeast. Serve warm.

Notes

Substitute olive oil for vegan butter in the glaze if preferred.

Freeze shaped dough before baking for future use.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.

To reheat, wrap in foil and warm in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes.

Use a gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum for a GF version.
