Anmes Garlic Knots Recipes

HOMEMADE GARLIC KNOTS

Steps:

• Whisk the warm water, yeast, and granulated sugar together in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a dough hook or paddle attachment. Cover and allow to rest for 5 minutes. *If you don't have a stand mixer, simply use a large mixing bowl and mix the dough with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula in the next step.
• Add the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and half of the flour. Beat for 15 seconds, then add the remaining flour. Beat on low speed for 2 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. With lightly floured hands, knead the dough for 3-4 minutes (for a visual, watch me do it in the video above). The dough can be a little too heavy for a mixer to knead it, but you can certainly use the mixer on low speed instead. After kneading, the dough should still feel a little soft. Poke it with your finger - if it slowly bounces back, your dough is ready to rise. If not, keep kneading.
• Lightly grease a large bowl with oil or nonstick spray- just use the same bowl you used for the dough. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides in the oil. Cover the bowl with aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rise at room temperature for 1-2 hours or until double in size. (Tip: For the warm environment on a particularly cold day, heat your oven to 150°F (66°C). Turn the oven off, place the dough inside, and keep the door slightly ajar. This will be a warm environment for your dough to rise. After about 30 minutes, close the oven door to trap the air inside with the rising dough. When it's doubled in size, remove from the oven.)
• Use the video tutorial and step-by-step photos above as your guide for this step. When the dough is ready, punch it down to release the air. Using floured hands on a lightly floured work surface, shape the dough into a 16×5 inch log. (5 inch width really isn't as important as the 16 inch length here, no need to be exact.) Using a very sharp knife, pizza cutter, or bench scraper, slice into 16 1-inch strips. Roll each strip into 8 inch ropes. Tie each into knots. You can tuck the two ends of the knots underneath the knot or leave them out, that's up to you. Arrange the knots on 2 lined baking sheets. (Either parchment paper or silicone baking mats work.)
• Lightly cover the shaped knots and let them rest for at least 30 minutes and up to 45 minutes. They will slightly puff up during this time, producing softer rolls.
• Towards the end of the rise time, preheat oven to 400°F (204°).
• Stir the melted butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt together. Brush on the knots. Reserve some of the topping for when the knots come out of the oven.
• Bake for about 20-23 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and brush the warm knots with remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and/or parsley, if using.
• Serve plain or with marinara sauce for dipping.
• Cover and store leftover knots at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Freeze baked and cooled knots for up to 3 months. Thaw on the counter, then reheat as desired. (I usually just microwave them for a few seconds.)

PARMESAN GARLIC KNOTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Tie each breadstick in a knot; do not pull the ends through, just barely tie them up so they are sort of in a ball shape. Place on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 11 to 13 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine butter, garlic, and olive oil in a small pan over medium-low heat. Cook until butter has melted, then stir to combine flavors.
• Remove knots from the oven and transfer to a medium or large bowl. Pour garlic mixture over top and toss to combine.
• Plate the knots and pour any remaining liquid and garlic over top. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and salt.

Steps:

• Proof yeast in water, honey and oil. Let sit for about 5 minutes or until foamy.
• Once proofed add 1 cup of the flour mixed with salt and cheese to the yeast mixture stirring until very smooth.
• Add the rest of the flour a little at a time stirring well after each addition of flour.
• Once flour is added knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes or until smooth.
• Place dough in an oiled bowl, turning to coat, and let rise for about 1 1/2 hours covered with a towel.
• Grease a baking sheet and preheat oven to 375°F.
• Roll risen dough out into a rectangle and spread oil over dough then and cut into 12 strips. Tie each strip into a knot and place on the baking sheet. Cover and let rise again for about 30 minutes.
• While dough is rising again mix butter and garlic in a saucepan over low heat for about 2-3 minutes.
• Bake for about 20 minutes then coat with garlic butter and sprinkle with cheese and enjoy!

EASY GARLIC KNOTS

Steps:

• Set pizza dough out on the counter and bring to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
• Roll dough on a floured surface into a rectangle. With the shorter side of the rectangle facing you, use a pizza cutter or knife to cut twelve 1 1/2 inch wide strips parallel to you. Then cut right up the middle to cut those strips in half.
• Twist each strip and tie into a loose knot. Place knots on the prepared cookie sheet.
• Melt butter in a small pan over low heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes, being careful not to burn. Remove from the stove and stir in parsley. Brush on top of all garlic knots.
• Cook in the preheated oven until knots are light brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with remaining butter mixture, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve warm.
