    ¾ Cup Non-dairy Milk, Warm, 3 tablespoon Non-dairy Butter, cut into 3 pieces
  • Add the sugar and yeast to the milk mixture and stir. Allow to sit for 5 minutes or until the yeast is a little puffy.
    2 tablespoon Granulated Sugar, 1 ¼ teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
  • Add the flour, salt, garlic powder and oregano. Stir with a wooden spoon or with your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
    2 Cups All Purpose Flour, ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt, ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder, ½ teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • Lightly flour your work surface and scrape the dough onto the counter. Knead for 5 minutes or until the surface of the dough becomes smooth.
  • Lightly oil the bowl, return the dough to the bowl and cover with a damp dish towel. Allow to rise for 1 ½ hours or until the dough doubles in size.

Make the Vegan Garlic Butter

  • In a small bowl, Mix together vegan butter, minced garlic, chives and salt. Stir well to combine. Set aside.
    4 tablespoon Vegan Butter, room temperature, 2 Medium Cloves of Garlic, minced, 1 tablespoon Minced Chives, Pinch Salt

Shape and Bakethe Garlic Knots

  • Line a baking tray with parchment.
  • Lightly flour a work surface and turn the dough out onto it.
  • Press the dough out into a 12"x6" rectangle with the 12 inch side running parallel to the edge of the counter.
  • Cut the rectangle in to 8 strips. The strips will be about 1.5 inches wide by 6 inches long
  • Working one at a time, take a strip in your hand by one end. Take the other end and wrap it around your fingers and then back into the loop that was just creates, creating a knot. Place the knot onto the baking tray and repeat.
  • Cover the knots once more with the damp dish towel and allow them to proof for 30 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350* F and melt the vegan garlic butter. There should be garlic butter left to brush the knots with when they are done baking.
  • After 30 minutes have elapsed, brush each knot with melted garlic butter then bake in a 350* F oven for 24-26 minutes or until the knots are lightly golden brown.
  • While the knots are hot, brush them with the remaining garlic butter.
  • Allow to cool slightly and serve.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or place inot a bag and freeze for up to a month.
