Start by preparing the dough in a bread machine.

Add 3/4 cup warm water (between 70 and 80 degrees) to the bread machine.

Add 2 tablespoons of milk at the same temperature to the bread machine.

Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil to the bread machine.

Add 3 cups of bread flour to the bread machine.

In one corner of the flour, add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar.

In another corner, add 1 teaspoon of salt.

In a third corner, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of yeast.

Set the bread machine to the dough setting and start it. It will take about 1 hour and 40 minutes to complete.

While the dough is rising, prepare the garlic butter mixture.

In a small saucepan, melt 1 stick of butter over low heat with 3 tablespoons of minced garlic until fragrant.

Remove the saucepan from heat and set aside the garlic butter mixture.

Once the dough is ready, lightly dust a cutting board with flour and place the dough on it.

Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into pieces for forming knots.

Roll each piece into a rope and tie into a knot.

Place the knots on a silicone mat on a cookie sheet.

Allow the garlic knots to rise before baking.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Bake the garlic knots in the preheated oven until golden brown.

Once baked, brush the garlic knots with the prepared garlic butter mixture.

Sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese and 1 tablespoon of dried parsley before serving.
