[recipe] Yummy Garlic Knots

[Guest guest]

Here is a recipe I get bugged to make often here

at home. They are a great go-along with spaghetti

or any pasta dish, but my family likes them just as

a snack, too.

There was this pizza restaurant back in NY that

made these to serve with all their meals and they

would always run out of them on Friday nights

so you'd have to get there early! I had to come up

with a way to make them at home.

 

Yummy Garlic Knots

 

I take a one pound frozen bread dough and let it thaw out.

Then I section it into 16 equal pieces. The easiest way is to

break it in half, then those halves in half, and so on until you

get 16.

 

Melt a few tablespoons of butter in a bowl and add some

olive oil to make it a 50/50 mix of the two; give it a good stir

to blend.

 

On a plate, mix together garlic powder and garlic salt

in a 50/50 blend as well.

 

Next, roll the bread dough balls into 6 inch ropes. Drape in

the butter and oil, then roll in the garlic. Next you tie them into

a knot. Repeat this process with all of the rest of the dough,

placing them on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Allow the knots to

rest for about 15 minutes.

 

Bake them at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes or until they

start to turn golden. While they are baking, prepare a dish of

butter and olive oil blend again and this time add some freshly

minced garlic, some dried oregano and basil.

After removing the golden knots from the oven, brush them with

a bit of this mixture.

 

Pop them back into the oven for 2 minutes. You can also sprinkle

them with some grated Parmesan cheese if you want.

Yield: 16 knots
