If you’ve got an active sourdough starter and you’re craving something cozy, these Vegan Sourdough Garlic Knots are a MUST bake. They’re soft, fluffy, loaded with delicious garlic, and of course are gut healthy thanks to the sourdough.

This recipe was inspired by Sally’s Baking Addiction’s Garlic Knots, the key difference is mine includes sourdough as well as fully vegan ingredients.

These garlic knots are perfect with Italian salad, a bowl of tomato soup, dipped in marinara, or just eaten hot out of the oven while standing at the counter!

How to Make this Recipe:​

Why I Love These Sourdough Garlic Knots

These Vegan Sourdough Garlic Knots are surprisingly SO easy to make – you do NOT need to be a pro baker, trust me! You start with a ball of dough and end up with golden, chewy, pull-apart knots that make your whole kitchen smell like a bakery. These are even better because they’re naturally leavened with sourdough, which gives them that slight tang and makes them easier to digest.

How to Store or Freeze

These knots are best the day they’re baked, but they reheat well. Store extras in an airtight container at room temp for 2–3 days, or freeze in a zip-top bag for up to a month. Just reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes.

Can I Use Sourdough Discard?

Yes! If you’re not working with a fully active starter, you can still make these using sourdough discard. Just add 1 packet of instant yeast to the dough (around 2 ¼ teaspoons) to give it a little boost, since discard alone won’t rise the dough.

More Garlic Knot Variations

If you’re not fully vegan, you could add parmesan or an egg wash for a more golden top. You can also swap in fresh rosemary or thyme instead of oregano for a different flavor twist.
