Yummy Garlic Knots
- 1 cup flour, all-purpose
- 1 package yeast, active dry dry
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 cup water hot
- 1 cup buttermilk or yogurt
- 1 each eggs (room temp)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
- 1 1/2 cups flour, all-purpose
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour or more as needed
- 1 large eggs mixed with 1 teaspoon of water
- 13 cup olive oil, extra-virgin
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves freshly minced
- 1 tablespoon thyme freshly chopped
- 1 tablespoon oregano freshly chopped
- 4 tablespoons parsley leaves freshly chopped
- Combine 1 cup flour, yeast, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Stir in water, buttermilk, egg, oil and honey.
- Beat until smooth with an electric mixer.
- Stir in remaining all purpose and whole wheat flours to form a soft, sticky dough.
- You may need more flour if the dough seems too sticky or runny.
- Turn onto a floured surface, continue to work in flour until dough is stiff enough to knead.
- Knead until smooth and elastic, but still soft (3 to 5 minutes).
- Place in an oiled bowl; turning once to coat top of dough.
- Cover; let rise until double in bulk (about 45 minutes).
- Punch dough down on a lightly floured surface.
- Divide dough into half and work one at a time.
- Roll dough into a rectangular about 10-inch wide and 1/2-inch thick.
- Use a pizza cutter or a knife to slice dough into 1-inch strips, then cut each strip into half.
- Grap one strip, and tie it into a knot.
- Repeat remaining strips until they are all tied into knots.
- Place knots onto greased baking sheets, make sure to leave about 1/2 to 1-inch apart.
- Cover with damp kitchen towel and allow to rise and double in bulk again, about 30 to 50 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400F (200C).
- Brush each knot with egg wash, then bake in oven for about 11 minutes until knots are puffed, golden and brown on top.
- While knots are baking, in a small saucepan mix together garlic, extra-virgin olive oil and all the freshly chopped herbs.
- Heat mixture under low heat for about 5 minutes to infuse flavor.
- Make sure to use very low heat, do not let garlic-herb mixture cook in oil.
- Turn off heat, let pan sit on stove and continue infusing.
- When knots come out of oven, set baking sheets on wire racks, and brush garlic-herb-olive oil mixture over each knot while they are hot.
- You may need to use a small spoon to spread garlic and herb evenly over knots.
- Serve warm, or let garlic knots cool completely on baking sheets on wire racks.
- They can be kept in a zip-lock bag or an air-tight container for a few days, or can be frozen for up to 1 month if they can last that long.
- Note: If you don't have fresh herbs, use a mixture of dried herbs.
