Method
Using homemade dough
- Combine the yeast, water, and sugar in the bowl of a mixer. Add in the flour, salt, and olive oil and mix well. The dough should start to wrap itself around the dough hook. If you see that it's still sticking a little bit, add a bit more flour. If the dough looks too dry and doesn't come together after about 2 minutes of kneading, add a little more olive oil. Grease a bowl well with olive oil. Remove the dough from the mixer and form into a smooth ball. Place the dough in the bowl and toss to coat in the olive oil. Let the dough rose for at least 30 minutes and up to 1.5 hours. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently punch it down. Continue with the directions under the store bought dough.
Using store bought dough
- Preheat oven to 400F. Defrost the dough according to package directions.
- Form the dough into a log and slice into about 12 1" sized even pieces.
- Roll each piece out into a 8" long rope and then tie into a knot.
- Place the knots on a parchment lined baking sheet and let them rise for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- Brush the dough with garlic butter and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush again with the garlic butter as soon as they come out of the oven.
Garlic butter
- Stir the melted butter, garlic, salt and parsley flakes together.
