Ingredients

Scale

1 cup sourdough discard (100% hydration)
1 cup self-rising flour
2 tablespoons garlic butter (melted)
Optional garlic butter topping:
2 tablespoons butter
1 garlic clove (minced)
Pinch of salt
Optional: chopped parsley or oregano

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard and self-rising flour. Stir until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Lightly flour your work surface. Divide the dough into 6–8 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a rope and tie into a loose knot.
Place the knots onto the baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Brush each knot with the melted garlic butter.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden brown and set.
Optional: Brush with additional garlic butter immediately after baking for extra flavor.

Notes

Don’t have self-rising flour? Substitute with 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1½ teaspoons baking powder + ¼ teaspoon salt.

For dairy-free, use olive oil with minced garlic instead of butter.

Add herbs or Parmesan for a custom flavor twist.
