Make the dough

Combine warm water, instant yeast, and sugar. Stand 5 minutes until foamy. Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Proof until doubled, 1–2 hours. Shortcut: 1 lb store-bought pizza dough.
Shape

Cut into 8 strips. Roll each into a 6-inch rope and tie into a loose knot. Cover and rest 30 minutes.
Garlic butter

Melt butter over medium-low heat. Add crushed garlic and cook 2–3 minutes until fragrant but not brown.
Bake or air fry

Oven: 400°F, brush with half the garlic butter, bake 13–15 minutes until golden. Air fryer: preheat 400°F, air fry at 350°F for 10–12 minutes.
Finish

Dunk hot knots in remaining garlic butter. Shower with parmesan and parsley. Serve at once.
