Garlic Parmesan Knots

1 1/3 cups very warm water
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
2 tablespoons honey
3 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Add warm water, yeast, and honey to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Stir just until honey dissolves. Allow to rest for 5 minutes - yeast will rise and foam.
  • Add flour and salt to the bowl and mix on low until mixture comes together. Switch to medium speed for 2-3 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Remove dough from the bowl and shape into a large ball. Cover with a towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Cut the dough in half, then cut in halves again so that you have four sections of dough.
  • Take one section of the dough and cut it in half, then in halves again. Roll each piece into log, about 8 inches long. Tie the dough into a knot, then place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Stir together butter, garlic powder, garlic, and parmesan. Brush onto the knots being sure all the dough surface has been brushed with a bit of butter so it doesn't dry out while baking.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Allow to cool slightly before serving. 

FREEZING: To freeze these, wrap individually in plastic wrap, then place in a gallon Ziploc bag, and put in the freezer. To reheat, unwrap and microwave individually, or wrap several loosely in foil and bake for 5-10 minutes until warmed through.
