Sourdough Garlic Knots
Sourdough Garlic Knots are made using naturally fermented sourdough dough, twisted into knots, baked until golden, and coated with fragrant garlic butter. They are healthier than regular bread, easier to digest, and packed with bold flavor.
Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup active sourdough starter
- ¾ cup warm water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar (optional)
For Garlic Butter:
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix sourdough starter, warm water, olive oil, and sugar.
- Add flour and salt. Mix until a rough dough forms.
- Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover and let rest at room temperature for 8–12 hours until doubled.
- Divide dough into 12 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a rope and tie into a knot.
- Place knots on a lined baking tray.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown.
- Mix garlic butter ingredients and brush generously over hot knots.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Use an active, bubbly sourdough starter for best rise.
- You can add cheese or chili flakes for extra flavor.
- Garlic knots taste best fresh but can be reheated.
