Garlic Knots Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup very warm water
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 5 tablespoons olive oil divided
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 ½-3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
-
Stir the water, sugar and yeast together in a large bowl then let it activate for 5 minutes.
-
Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and salt and stir to combine then add 2 ½ cups of the flour and stir again until combined.
-
Lightly dust a countertop with flour then turn the dough out on to the counter.
-
Knead the dough together for 10 minutes adding just enough flour along the way to prevent sticking. You want the dough to be tacky but not sticky so don’t add too much flour.
-
Spread some oil around the bowl that you used to mix the dough then tuck in the edges of the dough and set it inside of the bowl.
-
Spray the top of the dough with the non-stick spray then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
-
Cut the dough into 12-15 equal pieces then roll each piece into a 4-inch-long rope and gently tie a knot with the dough.
-
Add some parchment paper to a large baking pan (12×16 inch or larger) then place the knots on the pan evenly spaced.
-
Spray the tops with non-stick spray and let them rest for 30 minutes.
-
Ten minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Bake the knots for 8-10 minutes or until light and golden on top.
-
While the knots are baking, mix the remaining oil, butter, parsley, garlic and oregano together in a small saucepan over medium heat.
-
Stir and cook just until the garlic becomes fragrant then remove the pan from the heat and let it cool a bit while the bread cooks.
-
Brush the olive oil mix on top of the knots and let them cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- These garlic knots can be stored without the garlic butter brushed on, in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Brush the garlic butter on the bread before serving.
- Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes. It should be tacky but not sticky.
- Allow two hours for the dough to rise.
