Tied up in Garlic Knots

"From Family Circle. For a milder flavor, substitute roasted garlic for raw garlic. Recommendation: Use any basic, *homemade* unseasoned bread dough or pizza dough for this recipe. I tried Recipe #168225 and was quite pleased with the results. Note: since posting this recipe I have reduced the baking temperature from 375º to 350º."

ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

directions

  • Heat the olive oil and butter over low-medium heat until butter is melted.
  • Add garlic and 1/8 teaspoon of the salt. Cook 3-4 minutes to infuse. BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN, stirring constantly! Lower heat if necessary.
  • Set aside.
  • Roll out the bread dough on a floured surface to a 12 inch by 10 inch rectangle. Cut the dough horizontally into 12 strips, then cut in half down the center vertically. You will have a total of 24, 5 inch by 1 inch strips.
  • Tie each strip into a knot stretching dough [slightly] to aid in tying. Transfer the knots to two large baking sheets. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Cover knots with a clean flour sacking towel and proof in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Uncover the knots and brush each one with a small amount of the garlic-butter sauce.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, rotating pans at the halfway mark.
  • Once baked, immediately transfer to a large bowl and toss with the remaining garlic-butter sauce.

  1. I can't believe I forgot to review this! The BEST garlic knots! We're addicts and I've made them all, and this recipe has become my absolute favorite. I almost always use some of my pizza dough, but CG, your temp and times are right on! I'm still licking the last bits of garlicky goodness off my lips--all the knots disappeared in short order once again.
