Before You Begin
Preheat and prepare your cookware as needed. Cooking times and results may vary depending on your equipment and ingredients.
Mix warm water, yeast, and sugar. Rest about 5 minutes until lightly foamy.
Add oil, salt, garlic powder, and half the flour. Mix briefly.
Add remaining flour and knead 5 minutes until dough is soft and slightly tacky.
Place dough in greased bowl, cover, and let rise 1–2 hours until doubled.
Punch down dough and divide into 16 pieces. Roll each into an 8-inch rope and tie into knots.
Place on lined baking sheet, cover loosely, and let rest 30–45 minutes.
Stir butter, garlic, seasoning, and salt.
Brush knots with butter and bake at 400°F (204°C) for 20–23 minutes until golden and lightly browned.
Brush warm knots with remaining butter. Add optional toppings and serve.
