Place all dough ingredients in the bread machine= in the order listed. Select the dough cycle and press start.
Once the bread machine stops (it was one and a half hours on my machine). Place a silpat mat on a baking sheet then coat it with cooking spray.
Flatten the dough onto a well-floured surface then using a pizza cutter, cut it into strips.
Take each strip and tie it into a knot, making sure to keep it well-floured so it doesn't stick together.
Place each knot onto the baking sheet. Once you have tied all the strips into knots, cover them with a cloth and set them in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and bake for 9-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Add butter and minced garlic together in a small bowl and heat in the microwave until melted. Add the fresh chopped basil and stir.
Once the knots are out of the oven, brush the top of each knot with the garlic basil butter. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
