Garlic Herb Knots
Ingredients
- Dough:
- 1 cup (250 mL) warm water 100-110°F (38-43°C)
- 1 tsp (5 mL) active dry yeast
- 2 cups (500 mL) Robin Hood® 00 Style Pizza Flour
- 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
- Assembly:
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced

Directions
Step 1:
Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Dough
Step 2:
Combine water and yeast in large bowl of electric mixer. Let sit until frothy, about 2 minutes. Add flour and salt. Beat on low speed 1 minute, increase to medium high and beat 2 minutes. Dough will be sticky. Remove to greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and tea towel. Let rise in warm place 45-60 minutes or until doubled.
If the dough is too sticky, very generously flour the counter and surface of dough and knead in gently until absorbed and easier to handle.
Step 3:
Punch down on lightly floured surface, cover with tea towel and let rest 5 minutes.
Step 4:
Meanwhile, place butter, garlic, and herbs in microwave safe bowl. Heat on high until butter is melted, about 1 minute. Stir to combine, set aside.
Step 5:
Divide dough into 8 pieces and roll each into a 6-8” rope. Tie rope to form knot. Tuck ends underneath. Place on prepared pan. Cover with tea towel and let rise in warm place, 30-45 minutes or until puffy.
Assembly
Step 6:

Remove from oven, brush hot buns with remaining garlic butter mixture and sprinkle with parmesan cheese if desired. Return to oven 1 minute, or until cheese is melted. Serve warm.
