Sourdough Discard Garlic Knots
If you have tons of sourdough discard to use and craving something warm, buttery, and snackable, these sourdough discard garlic knots are it! They’re soft on the inside, golden on the outside, and brushed with garlicky butter that makes them disappear fast. This is one of those recipes that feels a little fancy but is actually very doable, even on very busy days (aren't they all?).

Ingredients
Dough:
- 100 g sourdough starter or discard
- 300 g water
- 6 g instant yeast
- 30 g butter melted
- 390 g all-purpose flour
- 30 g sugar
- 6 g sea salt
Filling:
- 15 g butter soft
- 1 teaspoon parsley dried
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder or 2 minced garlic cloves
- black pepper Optional: a little bit
Instructions
- Add the water, sourdough starter or discard, yeast, melted butter, flour, sugar, and salt to your stand mixer.
- Mix until the dough is soft and elastic, about 10–15 minutes.
- Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm spot for about 2 hours, or until it has almost doubled in size.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and roll it out into an 8×15 inch rectangle (about 20×38 cm).
- Spread the soft butter evenly across the dough. Sprinkle with garlic, parsley, and black pepper if using.
- Cut the rectangle into 3 strips.
- Then cut each strip into 6 smaller pieces (18 total). Cut each of those in half to make 36 pieces.
- Take two pieces and twist them together into a knot. Repeat until you have 18 garlic knots. Arrange the knots on a parchment-lined baking tray, leaving space between them. Let them rise for about 1 hour, until visibly puffy. Brush the knots with more melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven for extra softness.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 190°C (375°F).
- Serve warm, or store in the fridge for 7–10 days and reheat to enjoy again.
Notes
Tip: To make them vegan, you can use melted coconut oil instead of butter, though it may leave a slight coconut flavor.
