Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour Substitute with whole wheat or gluten-free flour if desired.
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder Acts as a leavening agent; check expiry for optimal puffiness.
  • 1 tsp Fine sea salt Enhances flavor; adjust down if using table salt.
  • 1 tbsp Granulated sugar Balances flavors; adds a hint of sweetness for browning.
  • 3/4 cup Unsweetened plant milk Oat or soy milk give the best richness.
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil Contributes to tenderness; can substitute with avocado or canola oil.
For the Garlic Coating
  • 1/4 cup Vegan butter Brands like Miyoko's or Nutiva are great choices.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Freshly minced for the best flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Nutritional yeast Adds a cheesy flavor; essential for that umami taste.
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley Spruced for color and fresh notes; dried parsley can be used.
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder Optional, for an extra kick of garlic in the coating.
  • 1 tsp Fine sea salt Adjust to taste.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, fine sea salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
  3. Pour in the unsweetened plant milk and olive oil into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, roll each into a rope about 7-8 inches long, tie them into knots and place them on the baking sheet.
  6. Bake the knots for 13-15 minutes until light golden.
  7. Melt the vegan butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  8. Stir in the nutritional yeast, fresh parsley, garlic powder, and additional salt to taste. Mix thoroughly.
  9. Brush the garlic coating generously over each knot while they are still hot.
