Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • All purpose flour – to dust
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 4 tablespoon Butter/olive oil /combination of both
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced finely
  • ¼ cup Parsley minced finely
  • Salt

Instructions

  • Bring the dough out from the refrigerator. Shape it into a ball and leave it a floured bowl for about an hour to 2 hrs. By then the dough should have doubled in volume.
  • Bring the dough out and divide it into two. Cover one half when working with the other. Roll out one half into ½ inch thick rectangle.
  • With a sharp knife, slice the dough into 1 inch thick strips. Take one piece and elongate it a little bit and make it into a knot.
  • Line them on a lightly greased baking tray leaving a little space between them since they would rise again and become slightly bigger.
  • Once all the knots are made, brush them with little olive oil and cover it with a plastic wrap and let them rise again until doubled in size. This could take again anywhere from one hour to 2 hours.
  • Remove the wrap and bake them in a preheated 400 F oven for about 12-14 mins or until browned on top. If placing 2 baking trays at the same time, make sure you double insulate (one tray on top of another) the tray in the bottom to prevent burning the base of the knots.
  • Meantime, make the garlic butter.oil. Melt 4 tablespoon of butter or oil or combination of both in a small sauce pan. Add the garlic to the butter/oil and cook it on low flame until the garlic is slightly brown. Now add the minced parsley and salt and mix well. Remove from heat.
  • When the knots are done, bring them out and brush them liberally with the garlic butter/oil mixture. Serve warm as is or with some marinara sauce.
