Tremendous Straightforward Garlic Knots (aka the Italian dinner roll)

As an Italian girl, and carb lover, I’m a HUGE fan of garlic knots. So studying to make the most effective garlic knots from scratch was one in every of my prime priorities this yr. 

And guess what? I discovered and perfected this recipe means sooner than I believed I’d. Seems making bread knots is NOT arduous. They usually’re made with tremendous fundamental elements you most likely have in your kitchen proper now!

They’re a scrumptious snack on their very own, particularly while you serve with marinara sauce for dipping. However I like serving them with penne arrabbiata and my simple baked meatballs! They’re like an Italian dinner roll… excellent for nearly any event! 

The way to make Garlic Knots from Scratch 

  1. Make the Dough: You’ll want a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook to make this garlic knot recipe! As soon as the dough comes collectively within the bowl, you’ll knead it collectively on a clear work floor. 
  2. Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a heat space and let it rise. It ought to double in measurement in about 90 minutes. 
  3. Form into Knots: Then place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and allow them to rise one other half-hour. 
  4. Bake:  Till golden brown. Then brush with scrumptious garlic butter and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese. 

For additional flavorful garlic knots, brush them with melted butter and herbs earlier than and after baking. Simply word they’ll be a little bit darker in shade in the event you do that. However will style much more like garlic bread!

The way to Form Garlic Knots

  1. Divide the dough into 2 equal items. Then let it relaxation for 10 minutes earlier than shaping.
  2. Sprinkle the highest of every spherical of dough with a little bit flour. Slice every spherical into quarters.
  3. Press every quarter right into a rectangle, then slice in half once more. You must have 16 items of dough. Mud each bit with a little bit flour and rapidly form into particular person balls.
  4. Roll out every ball into an extended rope then tie it right into a knot. Place them on the ready baking sheet, coated loosely with plastic wrap, and put aside for half-hour. The knots will rise extra throughout this time.

Garlic Knots Want Bread Flour

  • Bread flour is a high-gluten flour that has a tiny quantity of barley flour and vitamin C added. The barley flour helps the yeast activate. And the vitamin C will increase the elasticity of the gluten and its potential to retain gasoline because the dough rises and bakes. 
  • Bread flour is often utilized in pizza dough and garlic knot recipes due to the chewiness that the additional gluten supplies. I did check this recipe with all-purpose flour and sadly the outcomes have been robust, dry, and disappointing.

For smooth, chewy, and extremely scrumptious garlic knots, don’t skip the bread flour!
