How To Make Garlic Bread Garlic Knots Recipes

GARLIC KNOTS

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl if you plan to make the dough by hand), combine the warm water, yeast and granulated sugar. Whisk together. Let rest for 5-10 minutes, until the yeast begins to foam or bubble.
• Add the olive oil, salt and 4 cups of flour to the bowl. Mix with the paddle attachment on low speed until combined.
• Switch to the dough hook and knead the dough on low speed for about 8 minutes, until it mostly comes away from the sides of the bowl and is slightly sticky when you press it with your finger. If the dough is very sticky, you can add up to ¼ cup more flour, a little bit at a time, during the kneading step. Try to avoid adding too much flour, as this will make the rolls tougher. A sticky dough produces softer garlic knots.
• Transfer the dough to a large lightly oiled bowl and turn the ball of dough once to coat it in oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise for 1 to 1 ½ hours, until doubled in size.
• (See step by step photos and video tutorial in the post above for a visual of how to shape the garlic knots.)
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly floured work surface. Press down on the dough to remove air bubbles.
• To make 24 garlic knots, first cut the dough into 3 equal pieces. Then cut each of the 3 pieces into 8 equal pieces by cutting it first in half, then cut each half in half, and finally cut each piece in half once more. You should end up with 24 roughly equal pieces of dough.
• Working with one piece of dough at a time, shape each piece of dough into a ball. Then, working on a very lightly floured work surface, roll each dough ball into an 8-inch long rope. Tie each rope into a knot. If desired, tuck the ends of the knot underneath the knot. Place the knots on the prepared baking sheets, evenly spaced.
• Lightly cover the rolls with clean kitchen towels or plastic wrap. Let rise on the baking sheets for 30-45 minutes.
• During the last 15 minutes of rise time, preheat the oven to 400° F.
• To make the topping, melt the butter. Whisk in the Italian seasoning, minced garlic (or garlic powder) and salt until well combined. Brush over the rolls. (If desired, you can reserve some of the butter mixture to brush on the rolls after they come out of the oven.)
• Bake the rolls for 17-22 minutes, until they are lightly golden on top. Rotate the baking pans top to bottom and front to back halfway through the baking time to ensure that the rolls bake evenly.
• If you reserved some of the butter mixture, brush it on when the warm rolls come out of the oven. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve garlic knots plain or with marinara sauce for dipping.

HOW TO MAKE GARLIC BREAD (GARLIC KNOTS)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, proof the yeast by mixing the yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar in warm milk and leave it for about 5 minutes until it froths. (The temperature of the milk should be between 95° F and 115° F).
• Combine the Flour, remaining Sugar, salt, Eggs, garlic powder, chopped scallions, melted butter, and proofed yeast and mix with a wooden spoon for about 2 to 3 minutes or till everything is well combined. At this point, you will have a wet and sticky dough.
• Cover the dough with a lid or a plastic wrap and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or till almost tripled in size.
• Rub the baking pan with some room temperature butter and sprinkle a generous amount of flour over it. Then, tip the pan all around and make sure the flour sticks to all the sides of the pan and dump out the excess. Set it aside.
• After the dough has risen, mix it to remove the trapped air and start shaping your rolls. (Please read notes above on how to make the knots).
• Carefully arrange the Garlic knots inside the Pan and leave it to proof again for another 15 minutes
• Brush the surface of the dough with the Eggwash (1 Egg + 2 Tbsp water whisked together) and bake in a 350°F preheated oven for 20 minutes.
• Once you take the bread out from the oven, while still hot, generously brush the surface of the rolls with the garlic butter.
• Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes before serving - if you can wait :). Enjoy!
• When the rolls are almost done in the oven, combine 2 tablespoons of warm melted butter, the garlic, and the parsley in a small bowl and stir. Please add a pinch of salt if you are using unsalted butter.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Cut each biscuit into thirds. Roll each piece into a 4-in. rope and tie into a knot; tuck ends under. Place 2 in. apart on a greased baking sheet.

Steps:

• Prepare Basic Pizza Dough as recipe instructs below and set aside to rise.
• Combine butter and garlic in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Cover, remove from the heat and set aside. Keep warm.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and lightly grease 2 large baking sheets. Set aside.
• Remove risen dough from the bowl and place on a lightly floured surface. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough out into a large rectangle, about 16 by 12 inches. Brush the dough lightly with the olive oil. Cut the dough in half lengthwise and then cut crosswise into strips about 1 1/4 inches wide. Tie each strip loosely into a knot, stretching gently if necessary, and place on prepared baking sheets about 2-inches apart. Sprinkle the tops of the knots with salt. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 30 minutes.
• Bake until golden brown and risen, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and toss gently with the warm garlic butter, Pecorino Romano cheese, and parsley. Add salt to taste if necessary. Serve immediately.
• In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, honey, and 1 tablespoon oil, stirring to combine. Let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour and the salt, mixing by hand until it is all incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Continue adding the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, working the dough after each addition, until the dough is smooth but still slightly sticky. You may not need all of the flour. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth but still slightly tacky, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Oil a large mixing bowl with remaining olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place, free from drafts until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
