ingredients

• 5  cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 cups whole milk scalded
• 1 cup unsalted butter divided
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon dry active yeast
• 3 teaspoons kosher salt divided
• 1 Tablespoon pureed garlic
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Scald the Milk Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it just begins to boil. Pour it into the bowl of your stand mixer.
2. Melt the Butter Add ½ cup of butter to the hot milk and stir until melted. Add sugar, 1 cup flour, and ½ cup ice-cold water. Stir and check the temperature—it should be just warm enough to activate the yeast, not kill it.
3. Activate the Yeast Stir in the yeast and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy and fabulous.
4. Make the Dough Using the bread hook attachment, turn the mixer on low. Add 2 teaspoons salt and the remaining 4 cups of flour. Mix on medium-high for 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
5. Shape the Knots Dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 12 equal pieces. Stretch each piece to about 6–7 inches and tie into a loose knot. Place on baking sheets, 4 inches apart.
6. Let Them Rise Brush knots with water to keep them moist. Let rise for 20 minutes.
7. Bake Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake knots for 15–20 minutes until golden and puffed.
8. Garlic Butter Dunk Melt the remaining ½ cup butter and mix with pureed garlic and 1 teaspoon salt. Dunk the warm knots in the garlic butter and coat well.
9. Finish with Cheese Sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley. Serve warm and watch them disappear!

👩‍🍳 Cooking Tips for Knot-So-Perfect Bakers

• Scalding Milk 101: Don’t skip this step! Scalding helps improve dough texture and activates the yeast just right.
• Yeast Check: If your yeast doesn’t foam, it might be expired or the liquid was too hot. Try again with fresh yeast and lukewarm liquid.
• Knot Technique: Don’t stress about perfect knots. Rustic = charming. Just stretch, twist, and tie loosely.
• Garlic Butter Bath: Dunk those babies while they’re still warm so they soak up all that buttery goodness.

🧁 Recipe Variations to Keep Things Fresh

• Cheesy Explosion: Add shredded mozzarella inside the knots before baking for a gooey surprise.
• Herb Lovers: Mix Italian seasoning or fresh chopped rosemary into the dough.
• Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for a little heat.
• Sweet Twist: Skip the garlic and Parmesan, and brush with cinnamon sugar butter for a dessert version!

👶 Kid Tip: Make It a Dough Party!

Let the kiddos help shape the knots! Give them their own little piece of dough and let them twist, roll, and create their own “masterpieces.” You might end up with a few dough dinosaurs or hearts, but hey—memories are being made. Bonus: They’re more likely to eat what they helped make!

🛒 Grocery Hacks: Save Time & Money

• Bulk Butter: Buy unsalted butter in bulk and freeze sticks until needed. It’s cheaper and always handy.
• Flour Power: Store flour in airtight containers to keep it fresh longer. Costco-sized bags = budget win.
• Garlic Shortcut: Use pre-minced garlic or garlic paste from the refrigerated section to save time.
• Parmesan Swap: No Parm? Use Romano or even nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor boost.
