In a medium bowl, combine warm water with sugar and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Create a well, add oil and yeast mixture. Stir until a rough dough forms.

Knead dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled.

Melt butter in a saucepan, stir in garlic and parsley, simmer for 1 minute.

Punch down the dough, divide into 12 pieces, roll into long ropes, and tie into knots.

Cover knots and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush knots with garlic butter.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Brush warm knots with remaining garlic butter before serving.

Serve warm, enjoying the fluffy, buttery knots!
