Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center, then pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.

3. 3

   Mix until the dough begins to come together. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4. 4

   Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

5. 5

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

6. 6

   Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 6 inches long, then tie it into a knot and tuck the ends underneath.

7. 7

   Place the knots on a parchment-lined baking sheet, allowing space between each one.

8. 8

   In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Brush this mixture generously over each knot.

9. 9

   Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

10. 10

    Once out of the oven, you can brush them again with the garlic mixture and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
