Step 1

Combine water, yeast, sugar, and 391 g of bread flour in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on low speed with the dough hook attachment for 3-4 minutes until combined. Cover the bowl and let rest for 20 minutes to autolyze.

Step 2

Add the olive oil and salt (or Dan-O's Cheesoning). Mix on low speed for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the remaining 230 g bread flour in 3 parts (or it will fly out of the mixer). Mix for 8 minutes on low speed.

Step 4

Remove the dough from the mixer, roll into a ball, and proof in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 5

Punch the dough down, roll it into a log and divide into 16 equal pieces.

Step 6

Roll each piece into a thin strand, and tie it into a knot. Place on a baking sheet to proof for another 20-30 min.

Step 7

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Step 8

Meanwhile, mince a head of garlic and combine in a pot with melted butter and salt (or Dan-O's Cheesoning). Remove once fragrant.

Step 9

Bake the garlic knots at 400 F until golden brown (about 15-20 minutes). Then remove from the oven and toss in the garlic butter mix along with chopped parsley.
