Ingredients
  

For Dough:

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour मेदा
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast ईस्ट
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil ओलीव का तेल
  • 1/2 tsp salt नमक
  • 1/2 tsp sugar चीनी
  • 1/2 cup warm water पानी

For Garlic Coating:

  • 3 tbsp butter I used salted Amul butter (मखन)
  • 3-4 cloves garlic लेहसुन
  • 2 tbsp parsley I used Keya dry parsley (पार्स्ले)
  • salt to taste (नमक)

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl sieve all purpose flour and salt.
    1 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 1/2 tsp salt
  • Add sugar and yeast and mix well to combine.
    1 tsp active dry yeast, 1/2 tsp sugar
  • Add olive oil and mix to combine.
    1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • Add warm water as required and knead to soft dough. Continue to knead for 8-10 minutes.
    1/2 cup warm water
  • Coat the dough slightly with olive oil, cover with a cling wrap and leave it in a warm spot to rise (best way would be to preheat your microwave and keep it inside) and double. This will take about an hour but you can leave it for a few hours.
    1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • Punch down the air from the dough and divide it into two portions.
  • Roll the strip using your hands into a snake or a rope.
  • Depending on how small or big you want the knots to be divide the strips or use the entire strip.
  • Tie a knot just like you normally tie a knot. (If dough is sticky use some all purpose flour.)
  • Place the knot on the baking sheet.
  • Make knots with the rest of the dough in the same way.
  • Place the knots spaced a little away from one another as they will rise again.
  • Brush the top of the knots with olive oil. Cover them loosely with a cling wrap and let them rise again for an hour or for several hours.
    1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 30 minutes before you decide to bake them preheat the oven to 200C.
  • Place the baking tray in the oven after removing the cling wrap.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or till they are browned on the top.
  • While the knots are baking, mince the garlic.
    3-4 cloves garlic
  • Melt butter in a saucepan on low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for a minute or two till the raw smell disappears.
    3 tbsp butter, 3-4 cloves garlic
  • Add the parsley and salt and mix to combine. Keep this aside.
    2 tbsp parsley, salt
  • When the knots are baked, let them cool out of the oven for a few minutes.
  • Brush with the Garlic butter mixture.
  • Enjoy Delicious Garlic Knots.
