Garlic Butter

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together sourdough discard, milk, honey, and olive oil.
  • Add flour, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough for about 3 minutes until smooth and slightly sticky.
  • Shape into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and let rest in a warm area for 2 hours.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide dough into 8 equal pieces.
  • Roll each piece into a rope (12–15 inches long) and tie into knots. Tuck ends underneath.
  • Place knots on the baking sheet, brush with olive oil, cover, and rest for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  • Bake for 12–14 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through.
  • While baking, melt butter in a saucepan. Add garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes. Stir in salt and parsley.
  • Brush warm garlic butter over freshly baked knots.
  • These Sourdough Discard Garlic Knots are best served warm for maximum flavor and softness.

Notes

  • Use bread flour for a slightly chewier texture
