In a stand mixer bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast, salt, and garlic powder. In a jug, combine warm milk, olive oil, and egg.

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Mix with a dough hook on low until combined. Gradually add remaining 1 cup flour until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth.

Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Punch down dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and divide into 12 pieces. Roll each into a 7-inch rope and tie into a knot. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Cover knots and let rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

While baking, melt butter. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in parsley, salt, and pepper.

As soon as knots come out of the oven, brush generously with the garlic butter glaze. Sprinkle immediately with Parmesan cheese. Cool slightly before serving.
