What you'll need

  • Half-sheet pan — Bake, broil, or roast appetizers on a flat, rimmed surface.
  • Small ramekins — Individual portions for dips, baked eggs, and small bites.
  • Pastry brush — Brush egg wash or oil on dough without tearing it.

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the warm water, honey, and yeast. Let rest for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add the bread flour and sea salt to the mixture. Stir using a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for approximately 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a bowl greased with avocado oil, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope, tie into knots, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover loosely and let rest for 15–20 minutes until slightly puffed.
  6. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  7. While the knots bake, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a small bowl.
  8. Immediately brush the warm knots with the garlic herb mixture and sprinkle with extra salt before serving.
