Description

Delightful sourdough garlic knots infused with garlic and topped with a buttery drizzle, perfect for sharing.


Ingredients

  • 125 g filtered water
  • 100 g sourdough starter
  • 325 g bread flour
  • 10 g sea salt
  • 50 g butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4-6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter (for brushing)
  • 1/4 tsp salt (for the butter)
  • 2 tbsp parsley (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine filtered water and sourdough starter. Stir until blended. Add bread flour and salt, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise at room temperature for 4-6 hours until doubled in size.
  4. Gently deflate the dough and divide it into equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope and tie it into a knot. Place the knots on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them rise for another hour.
  5. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the knots for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Melt the unsalted butter and mix with minced garlic and 1/4 tsp salt. Brush the garlic butter over the baked knots and garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider mixing herbs into the butter for brushing, or brushing with an egg wash for a golden color.
