My Garlic Knots - coming soon to a Northern California Super Bowl party :)
I've seen a few different recipes in the past for garlic knots...
but I didn't bother doing the logical thing by trying to find the ones I may or may not have pinned.
Here is a picture of some I pinned to be on the up and up. However I'm crazy and created my own recipe.
You'll Thank Me Later - Garlic Knots
I made my dough in a bread maker but you can do it by hand too. This recipe makes approximately 3 dozen medium sized knots.
Prep time: 2 1/2 - 3 hrs (depends on rise time of dough) Bake time: 15-20 min
Dough:
- 1 1/2 cups of water
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 teaspoons of salt
- 2 teaspoons of sugar
- 4 cups of flour (I used white all purpose)
- 1/2 tablespoon of rosemary
- 1/2 tablespoon of basil
- 4 teaspoons of fast rise or bread machine yeast
Topping:
- 3 tablespoons of butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced or grated
- 1/2 tablespoon of parsley(I used dried)
- salt, your preference to taste
Directions:
- Measure all dough ingredients and place in bread pan, in the order listed. Select dough setting and start machine. I believe my dough setting has 2 rises not all bread machines are made this way - you want 2 rises for extra puffy dough.
- Once the last rise is almost done - mince spices and melt butter.
- Combine and stir all topping ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Once dough is done - lightly flour a surface large enough to roll out your dough to cut. I rolled out my dough to be about 1/4 inch thickness and cut it in 1 inch strips, vertically and then each strip into thirds. They ended up being approximately 7 inches in length before tying.
- Cover cookie dough sheet or jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Then fold over the knots and tie them. Place knots about an inch apart, I fit a dozen on a 9x13 pan.
- Then brush or pour some of topping mixture on knots, saving at least half for the finish. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until golden on top and bottom. (I rotated mid-way through to get them evenly browned)
- Pour remaining topping mixture over the knots. Plate & devour!
Warning: These are highly addictive!!
This is a man approved recipe. Hubs says, "These taste like rolls from a fancy restaurant. Good job, Babe"
