Homemade Garlic Knots
Description
This recipe for Homemade Garlic Knots starts with a yeast dough combining bread flour, milk, egg, sugar, salt, and butter. After mixing and kneading until smooth and elastic, the dough undergoes an initial rise until doubled in size. It is then divided into 24 pieces, rolled into ropes, and tied into knots before a second rise. Baking at 375°F until lightly golden, the knots are basted with a garlic butter and Italian seasoning mixture both before and just after baking. The result is soft bread with a fragrant garlic-herb coating and a tender, airy interior.
The method of shaping and rising helps develop soft texture and allows the flavors in the topping to absorb slightly. The garlic butter topping can be adjusted by adding parsley or parmesan cheese for variation. These garlic knots pair well with pasta dishes, salads, or can be enjoyed on their own as a savory treat.
They can be made using a bread machine dough cycle to simplify preparation. Baking just before serving ensures they remain soft and flavorful.
A bread machine can be used for mixing and kneading the dough using the dough function.Knot dough pieces by rolling into ropes and tucking ends underneath for even baking.Brush knots with garlic butter mixture before baking and again immediately after removing from the oven for best flavor.Optional parmesan cheese can be sprinkled after baking for extra taste.
