In a microwave-safe bowl, stir together the water and melted butter. Add the milk and honey, mixing until smooth. Heat the mixture until it reaches about 110°F.

Pour the warmed liquid into the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle the yeast on top and allow it to rest for 5 minutes until foamy.

Incorporate 3 ½ cups of flour, salt, and garlic powder into the yeast mixture. Mix on medium-low speed until combined, adding more flour if needed.

Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the dough rest for 15 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Take the risen dough and roll it into a log. Slice into 15 pieces, roll each piece into an 8-inch rope and tie it into a knot. Place on the prepared baking sheet and let rise for another 15 minutes.

Bake the garlic knots for around 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Combine garlic butter ingredients and brush over the baked knots. Sprinkle with Parmesan and flaky sea salt.

Serve warm and enjoy!
