Notes

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter. These knots are best served fresh from the oven, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, pop them in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes. You can substitute dried parsley if fresh is unavailable, but reduce to 1 teaspoon. Avoid over-kneading the dough, as it can make the knots tough. These also freeze well; just wrap tightly and reheat directly from frozen.
