Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
3/4 cup warm water (105°F-115°F)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 package (2-1/4 teaspoons) of active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2-1/4 cups bread flour

Garlic-Butter Coating:

5 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
Parmesan and minced parsley

Directions:
Directions:
Whisk the warm water, yeast, and granulated sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer. Cover and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Add the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and half of the flour. Beat for 15 seconds, then add the remaining flour. Beat on low speed for 2 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead the dough for 3-4 minutes. Lightly grease a large bowl with oil or nonstick spray. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides in the oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise at room temperature for 1-2 hours or until double in size. When the dough is ready, punch it down to release the air. Using floured hands on a lightly floured work surface, shape the dough into a 16×5" log. Using a very sharp knife, pizza cutter, or bench scraper, slice into 16, 1" strips. Roll each strip into 8 inch ropes. Tie each into knots. Arrange the knots on 2 parchment lined baking sheets. Lightly cover the shaped knots and let them rest for 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°. Stir the melted butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt together. Brush on the knots. Reserve some of the topping for when the knots come out of the oven. Bake for about 20-23 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and brush the warm knots with remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and parsley.

Personal Notes:
Pungo is a little village within the City of Virginia Beach. It's loved for its Strawberry Festival held every Memorial Day weekend. Carnival rides, fair food, pig races, craft tents and every conceivable strawberry concoction make this a circled event on the calendar for Gigi, the grandkids, and 120,000 of our closest friends. Pungo Pizza Parlor is another reason to love this little part of VA Beach. It has pizza, ice cream, an arcade, and they serve these garlicky, pillowy, globules of buttery goodness. Twenty dollars worth of quarters, a couple of pizzas and a dozen of these knots keep the kids happy and occupied....for about and hour.

Sadly the last two festivals were cancelled due to COVID.
