Parmesan Garlic Knots (Recipe)


Ingredients

For the dough

✅ ¾ cup warm water

✅ 1 packet dry yeast about 2 ½ tsp

✅ 2 cups flour 00 (fine Italian flour) or whole wheat flour

✅ ½ tsp fine sea salt

For the garlic-olive oil coating
✅ 4 garlic cloves minced

✅ ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil (Use Kasadrinos **FREE Bottle**)

✅ ¼ tsp ground or cracked red pepper from red peppercorns

✅ 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley

✅ ¼ cup finely grated parmesan or Romano cheese

Instructions


Dough

1️⃣ Proof the yeast. In ¾ cup of warm water (115 F-120 F -46 C) add sugar and yeast, set it aside and wait 10 minutes to activate.


2️⃣ In a large mixing bowl, add the flour and salt and mix. Create a well in the center of the flour and pour the yeast-water mixture into the center. Then, gradually mix the flour in with the water in small increments using a spoon or rubber spatula; A dough will begin to form.


3️⃣ Prepare the surface on which you will be kneading the dough, by sprinkling some flour. Take the dough out of the bowl and continue working it by hand. If the dough is very sticky, add small amounts of flour until the dough no longer sticks to your hands or the surface. You may also add some olive oil to your fingers. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth. Roll it into a ball.


4️⃣ Grease a bowl with a bit of olive oil and place the dough in the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place and let it sit until it has risen about 30 minutes.


5️⃣ Preheat oven to 425˚F (220 C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.


6️⃣ Punch down the dough and roll it out and cut into equal strips, about 14-18 strips


7️⃣ Take a strip of dough and roll it in a rope, so it is 9 inches long (about 22 cm). Tie it into a knot, tucking in the ends. One end is tucked on top and the other on the bottom (see photos). Place on the prepared pan.
