Ingredients needed to make homemade garlic knots.

The ingredients used to make this recipe are basic ingredients that you may already have on hand. Feel free to change the seasonings as desired.

• Active Dry Yeast. Make sure that the packaging says "active dry" on it as this is what works best in this recipe..
• Warm Water Used to proof the yeast.
• Sugar. Also used in proofing the yeast. It is best to not use a sugar alternative as it is sugar that feeds the yeast.
• Oil Use olive oil or vegetable oil. This is used to make the dough. Additional oil is used to coat the pot to keep the rising dough from sticking.
• Flour. Regular all purpose flour was used to make my knots.
• Butter. For a buttery flavor, use real butter. If you are using unsalted butter you can add a half teaspoon of salt to the flour.
• Garlic. Use freshly minced garlic for optimal flavor.
• Additional seasonings. Parsley and Italian seasonings were used to make my knots.

Tips for making the best garlic knots.

The instant pot is used to rise the dough using the 'yogurt' setting. If you do not have an instant pot, simply place the dough into a large bowl that has been oiled on the inside, cover the top of the dough with a clean kitchen towel, and allow the dough to double in size.

More helpful tips for you.

1. Before rolling out your dough to make the knots, dust your clean workspace with flour to keep the dough from sticking.
2. If your dough seems sticky while rolling it simple dust it with with a bit of additional flour.
3. Simply make a basic knot with the dough, without pulling it too tight, and place it onto your prepared baking sheet.
4. For larger knots that can serve as rolls, you can allow the knotted dough to rise for a second time.
5. Excess dough can be frozen to bake later. Simple form the knots and place them onto a parchment paper lined rimmed baking sheet. Freeze them for one hour and then transfer the knots to a freezer safe container or zip top bag.
6. These garlic knots can also be made in an air fryer at 350 for about eight to ten minutes until golden brown.

How to make Instant Pot Garlic Butter Knots .

Prep Time: 10 minutes .
Rise Time: 1 hour.
Bake Time: 12 minutes .
Servings: 24, depending on the size of your knots. .

1. Start by proofing your yeast. Place the yeast, warm water, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork or a whisk to give it a quick mix. Then allow it to sit until the mixture begins to foam (about 5 minutes).
2. Once the yeast mixture is ready, add the oil and flour. Outfit your your mixer with a dough hook and knead on low until the dough is smooth, slightly sticky, and elastic-like. You can do this by hand if you do not have a dough hook.
3. Meanwhile, grease the inside of your instant pot with additional oil. Form the dough into a large ball if it is not already resembling one. Then place the dough ball into your oiled instant pot.
4. Place the lid on the pot and set the instant pot to "yogurt" mode, according the manufacturers' directions, for one hour.
5. Prepare a rimmed baking sheet(s) with parchment paper or a baking mat. Also, lightly flour a clean workspace.
6. Once the dough is done in the instant pot transfer it to your prepared workspace and preheat your oven to 400.
7. Lightly spray or grease a large knife then carefully cut the dough ball in half. Then cut each of the halves in half so that you have four pieces of dough.
8. Roll the first piece of dough on your workspace so that it forms a rope that is about a half inch wide. Then cut the rope into six evenly sized pieces.
9. Tie each of the pieces into a knot and place the knots on to your prepared baking sheet, leaving about two inches between each knot on the baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining dough until you have filled your baking sheets.
10. Bake the knots for 10-12 minutes or until they begin to turn golden brown.
11. To make the garlic butter, in a small saucepan, melt the butter along with the minced garlic and seasonings.
12. Use a pastry brush to brush the melted butter mixture over your knots before serving.

Expert Tip👉 skip the whole homemade bread portion of this recipe and use a premade pizza or similar dough instead.

How to store garlic knots.

Once the garlic knots have fully cooled, they can be stored in an airtight container. When properly stored, they should keep for up to five days at room temperature. If you decide to freeze your knots, coat them with the knots with the garlic butter after thawing and reheating them.
