Garlic Basil Knots
Servings 13 - 15 rolls
Equipment
- Bread Maker
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
Knots:
- 1 cup of water
- 2 tbsp of butter softened
- 1 egg hold under warm water before breaking it
- 3¼ cups of flour
- ¼ cup of sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tsp regular active dry yeast
Other ingredients:
- 2 tbsp of butter melted
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 5 fresh basil leaves chopped finely
Instructions
- Place all dough ingredients in the bread machine in the order listed.
- Select the dough cycle and press the start button.
- 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, keeping 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.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Add butter and minced garlic together and cook 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.
