Servings:
Ingredients
Bread
- 1 1/3 cups (320 ml) warm water
- 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3 1/2 cups (440 gr) bread flour
Garlic Butter
- 5 tbsp (75 gr) unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1/2 tsp dried basil leaves
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- 1/4 tsp salt
Topping
- 1/4 cup (25 gr) grated parmesan cheese
- Dried parsley
Instructions
Bread
- In a big bowl, combine all of the bread ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. Then, knead the dough with your hands until smooth. It takes about 10-12 minutes by hand or 8-10 minutes in a stand mixer. Form dough into a ball.
- Lightly grease a large bowl with oil and place the dough inside the bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise and double for 90 minutes at a warm temperature.
- While waiting, line two baking sheets with two silicone mats or parchment papers.
Garlic Butter
- In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, dried basil leaves, dried parsley, and salt.
Assemble
- After the dough has doubled, punch down the dough. Transfer it to a lightly floured surface and knead the dough to release the gas.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide into two balls. Flatten each ball into 8x4-inch/20x10cm. Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, slice each into 8 even strips.
- Stretch a strip into 8-inch/20cm and tie into a knot. Tuck the two ends of the knot underneath or you can leave them out. Place the knot carefully on a baking sheet. Continue with the remaining strips.
- Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest and double for 30 minutes at a warm temperature.
- Preheat oven to 400F/200°C. Brush the knots with garlic butter. Reserve some sauce after the knots are out of the oven.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes or until the top is golden. Remove from the oven and brush the knots with the remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and dried parsley.
