Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather all ingredients and equipment.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine sourdough discard, all-purpose flour, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, dried oregano, and black pepper. Mix until a rough dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for approximately 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Divide the dough into golf ball-sized pieces, roll each into a rope about 6-8 inches long, and shape into knots.
  5. Beat an egg in a small bowl, then brush the tops of each knot with the egg wash.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Once baked, allow the knots to cool slightly, then garnish with finely chopped parsley before serving.
