Ingredients
- GLAZE:
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- 1 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp lukewarm water
- ........................
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Preparation
Step 1
Place dough ingredients in bread machine and set machine to DOUGH cycle. When cycle is done, remove dough.
Turn the dough onto a very lightly floured surface and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Use the palms of your hands to roll each ball into a 10-inch long rope. If the dough is too sticky then use a little flour to dust it with. The ropes can’t be sticky because you wouldn’t be able to form the knots.
Now tie the rope into a knot. Take the end lying underneath the knot and bring it over the top, tucking it into the center and take the end lying over the knot and tuck it underneath and into the center.
Transfer the knots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let the knots rise for another 45 minutes.
In the meantime you can prepare the glaze. Melt the butter (using the microwave is perfectly okay) and press the garlic into it. Or instead of pressing the garlic through the press you can just mince it finely by hand. Add the dried oregano and mix it all together.
When your knots are nice and puffy brush the glaze onto them. Place the knots into a preheated oven (350 °F – 175 °C) and bake for about 15-18 minutes.
