GOLDEN KNOTS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and 2 tablespoons sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in the butter and remaining 1 cup sugar; stir until melted. Let cool until lukewarm.
• In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the milk mixture, eggs, salt and 3 cups of flour; stir well to combine. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Punch down dough and divide into thirds; divide each portion in a 14 inch roll; divide each roll into 14 pieces. Roll the pieces into 9 inch ropes and tie into knots. Place the rolls 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in preheated oven) for 15 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from oven and brush with melted butter.

GARLIC KNOTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven. Lightly oil 2 large baking sheets.
• Divide pizza dough in half. Keep half of dough covered with a clean kitchen towel. Gently roll out other half into a 10" square on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. Use hand to pull corners, if dough is very elastic. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow to rest about 3 minutes.
• Cut dough square in half with a pizza wheel or a sharp heavy knife, then cut each half crosswise into 15 strips (about 2/3" wide). Cover strips with clean kitchen towel.
• Keeping remaining strips covered, gently tie each strip into a knot, pulling ends slightly to secure (if dough is sticky, dust lightly with flour) and arranging knot 1" apart in staggered rows on 1 large baking sheet. Keep knots covered with clean kitchen towel.
• Roll out and cut remaining dough, then form into knots and arrange on second baking sheet.
• Bake, switching position of baking sheets halfway through baking, until golden, 20-25 minutes.
• While knots bake, mince garlic and mash to a paste with salt, then stir together with oil in a very large bowl. Immediately after baking, toss knots in garlic oil, then sprinkle with parsley and cheese and toss to coat. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• Knots can be baked, but not coated 2 hours ahead. Reheat on a large baking sheet in a preheated 350 degree oven until hot, 3-5 minutes. Toss immediately with garlic oil and sprinkle with cheese and parsley.

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.
