Ingredients (serves 4):

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp active dry yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp dried basil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure your water is warm, but not too hot. If the water is too hot, it can kill the yeast and your dough won't rise.
- Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes to develop the gluten and create a soft and chewy texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for at least an hour to ensure it doubles in size.

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
2. Add the warm water and olive oil to the bowl and mix until a dough forms.
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 10 minutes.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1 hour.
5. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
6. In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, oregano, basil, and Parmesan cheese.
7. Roll the dough into small balls and tie them into knots.
8. Brush the knots with olive oil and sprinkle the garlic and herb mixture on top.
9. Bake the Garlic Knots for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
10. Serve warm and enjoy!
