How to Reheat these Garlic Knots?

Garlic knots are best eaten fresh out of the oven. But you can store them at room temperature in an airtight container for 1-2 days. To reheat them, you can microwave them for about 30 seconds and they will be fresh and soft again.

How to Store these?

You can enjoy these garlic buns on their own, pair them with a saucy pasta like my Italian Lamb Ragu, Penne Alla Vodka, a hot piping soup like Roasted Cauliflower & Red Pepper Soup, Hearty Vegetable and Lentil Stew or dip them in a bowl of your favorite dipping sauce.

Yields: 15-16
Calories per serving: 586kcal



Ingredients:
    For the Dough
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 cup+1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

    • For the Garlic Butter
  • 5 Tablespoon of unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 Cloves of Garlic, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions:
  1. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup of water and yeast. Stir and set aside for 5-10 minutes, until the yeast is foamy.
  2. In the bowl of a standing mixer, add all the ingredients for the dough and mix on medium-low speed until the dough forms into a ball around the hook, for about 6-7 minutes. If the dough is too runny, you can add in some more flour.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured surface and knead several times, sprinkling with more flour if the dough is still sticky. After kneading, the dough should still feel a little soft. Poke it with your finger—if it slowly bounces back, your dough is ready to rise. If not, keep kneading.
  4. Lightly grease a large bowl with oil and place the dough in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and put it in a warm place. Allow the dough to rise until doubled in size for 60 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Uncover the dough, punch it down a few times, and transfer to a lightly-floured surface. Cut the dough into 8 equal sections and roll each section into a 9-inch long rope. Grab the ends of each dough rope, tie into a knot shape, and tuck in the ends. Arrange the knots onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. In a small bowl, stir the melted butter, the minced garlic and Italian seasoning together.
  8. Brush on the knots and reserve some of the garlic butter for later when the knots come out of the oven.
  9. Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until golden brown on the outside. Remove them from the oven and brush the warm knots with remaining garlic butter.
  10. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley.
  11. Serve warm with Marinara sauce, or with a bowl of hot piping soup or pasta.
