ROSEMARY GARLIC KNOTS

Steps:

• In a medium pan over low heat, warm milk and 3/4 cup of butter until it melts. Stir occasionally to prevent milk from burning. Let cool.
• Combine warm water, 1 teaspoons sugar, and yeast in a small bowl and let stand for 5 minutes until it softens and begins to puff.
• In the bowl of a standing mixer using the whisk attachment, beat the eggs and remaining sugar at low speed until blended. Beat in the milk mixture. Gradually add 2-1/2 cups of the flour, 1/2 cup at a time until blended smooth.
• Replace the whisk with the dough hook. Add the yeast mixture, salt, and 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and beat at medium low speed (2 on the KA mixer). You will have a very wet and loose dough that climbs the dough hook but falls back down into the bowl by this time.
• Two tablespoons at a time, add enough flour to form a firm but sticky dough ball. The dough ball will pull away from the sides of the bowl and not flop back to the sides. It will feel like "fly paper" when you touch it.
• Pour some oil into a large bowl that can be fitted with a lid or plastic cling wrap. On a very lightly flour dusted counter, and with lightly floured hands, turn the dough out and give it 3-5 quick hand kneads to form a good dough ball. Then put it in the buttered bowl, turning it over to coat evenly. Cover the bowl tightly, and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• After an hour, punch down the dough, fold it over in half, then in half again, and cover the bowl again and let rise again until double, about 1 more hour.
• About 10 minutes before the last rise, in a large skillet, melt 4 T butter with 4 T extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant but not brown, about 2 minutes. Add the fresh rosemary and sea salt, mix well and scrape into a bowl. Set aside.
• When the last rise is done, you're ready to shape the rolls. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work space and cut it into 16 even pieces. Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll into a rope about 11-inches long and flatten it. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoons of the garlic rosemary mixture along its length, then fold lengthwise and press the edges together TIGHTLY. Twist lenthwise, then shape into a knot. As you finish, place each on a parchment or silicone lined baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Then let rise for about 45 minutes to an hour, until puffed.
• Before the end of this last rise, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake the knots for about 15 minutes, until golden. Remove from oven and brush with remaining garlic rosemary mixture or use to dip.

BUTTERY GARLIC HERB KNOTS

Steps:

• Prepare the recipe for Simple Pizza Dough. While the dough is rising, prepare the remaining ingredients for the garlic knots and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Mix the butter with the thyme, rosemary, 2 tablespoons Parmesan and garlic.
• Turn the risen dough out onto a floured surface. Stretch the dough into a rectangle. Spread half of the butter mixture on half of the dough. Then fold the dough in half, covering the butter with the dough.
• Using a pizza wheel, divide the dough into 18 strips. First cut through the middle, then you can cut each half into 9 pieces. Stretch each strip and tie into a knot and tuck the ends underneath the center of the knot. Place the knots onto a baking sheet.
• Sprinkle the knots with some of the Parmesan and bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, melt the remaining herb butter.
• Once the knots come out of the oven, baste them with the melted butter and sprinkle them with the remaining Parmesan. Serve warm and enjoy!
• In a liquid measuring cup, combine the warm water, yeast and sugar. Allow the yeast to dissolve and bloom, about 5 minutes. Once bloomed, add the olive oil.
• Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour and salt. Stream in the water/yeast mixture and as the dough begins to come together, switch to a dough hook attachment. Allow the dough to knead, adding a bit more flour if needed, so that the dough releases from the sides of the bowl, 1 to 3 minutes. You should be able to touch the dough and not have the dough stick to your fingers. Once the dough has kneaded and has pulled away from the sides of the bowl, remove the dough from bowl to a floured work surface and, with floured hands, continue to knead it by hand for 1 to 2 minutes. Then form the dough into a round ball and place it into a large bowl sprayed with nonstick spray. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean dish towel and let the dough rise in a warm area of your kitchen until it doubles in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. After the dough has risen it is ready to be cooked however you'd like!
• Cook's Notes: This dough is wet dough, keep bench flour at the ready and make sure to flour your hands when working with the dough. Trust your gut as a chef, if the dough is to wet, add more flour, if it is too stiff, add a little water.
• Sugar is used to feed the yeast which will help the dough to grow. Bread flour will give you a chewier texture because the flour has more gluten. You don't need to use a thermometer to get the water temperature, it should just feel warm to the touch.

GARLIC KNOTS

Steps:

• For the garlic confit: Combine the garlic, peppercorns, thyme sprigs, bay leaves, chiles and rosemary sprig in a medium saucepan and cover with the olive oil. Cook over low heat until the garlic is tender, about 45 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
• With tongs, remove the thyme, rosemary, bay leaves and chiles and discard. With a slotted spoon, remove the garlic to a bowl. Strain the oil into a liquid measuring cup and reserve.
• For the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, combine the water, sugar and yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes until frothy. Add 2 tablespoons of the reserved garlic confit oil.
• In a bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the flour to the yeast mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, while mixing on low speed. Once the flour has settled, raise the speed to high and mix until the dough can be pulled away from the sides of the bowl but is still quite tacky, about 10 minutes.
• Grease a large bowl with more of the reserved garlic confit oil, then scrape the dough into the bowl. Turn the dough to coat it in the oil. Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place (the top of the fridge is usually good) until doubled, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to the highest setting (550 degrees F) with a pizza stone in the lower part of the oven.
• Turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface and form it into a smooth ball. Cut the dough into 2 equal portions. Each ball will be approximately 12 ounces of dough. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest until elastic, 10 to 15 minutes.
• For the filling: Add the thyme, rosemary, lemon zest and salt to the garlic confit, stirring to combine.
• On the floured surface, spread each ball of dough out into about a 10-inch circle. Fill each ball with half of the garlic mixture. Gather up the edges of the dough and pinch together. Then, using butcher string, tie the knots shut. Brush each knot with reserved garlic confit oil.
• Place the knots directly onto the pizza stone and bake, checking after 10 minutes and covering with foil if getting too brown, until very darkly caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately in a puddle of the reserved garlic confit oil.

ROSEMARY KNOTS WITH GORGONZOLA AND HONEY

Steps:

• To make the bread, whisk together the yeast and water in a large bowl until the yeast is dissolved. Add the sugar and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in 2 cups of the flour and the salt. Stir in the olive oil, rosemary and pepper. Gradually stir in the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour.
• Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, about 10 minutes. While kneading the dough, add as much additional flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking to your hands and the work surface.
• Lightly oil a large, clean bowl. Shape the dough into a smooth ball and place it in the bowl, turning it once to coat the top with oil. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let stand in a warm place until the dough has doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch the dough down and reshape into a ball. Cover and let double again, about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Punch the dough down and divide it into 16 equal pieces, about 1/4 cup each. On a barely floured surface, roll each piece into a ball. Use your fingers to roll each ball into a rope about 6 inches long. Tie the ropes loosely into knots and place on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Cover each sheet with a towel and let stand until the rolls are doubled, about 25 minutes.
• To top the rolls, brush them lightly with the olive oil. Sprinkle with the chopped rosemary and salt. Bake until the rolls are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Place 2 rolls on each of 8 plates and serve, passing the Gorgonzola and warm honey separately.
