How to make easy garlic knots using a bread machine
These easy garlic knots are made using a bread machine to mix, knead, and rise the dough. The garlic knots are then shaped, and baked in the oven.
Step One:
First, Place all of your ingredients in the order listed above, dry ingredients go last. (Water, milk, egg, butter, sugar, flour, salt and yeast) Set the bread machine to the “dough” setting and press start. Ps..don’t forget the paddle attachment!
Step Two:
Once the dough cycle is complete, place the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Then slice the dough using a dough cutter (or pizza cutter) into 12 equal pieces.
Step Three:
After slicing the soft dough into 12 equal pieces, use your hands to roll each piece of dough back and forth, shaping the dough into a long rope.
Step Four:
After shaping the dough pieces into long ropes, Take each side of the rope, folding one side over the other and tie a knot. Place each knot onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Cover and rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 30-45 minutes.
Step Five:
After the rolls have doubled in size, Bake the rolls at 350 for 20-25 mins or until the rolls are golden brown.
Step Six:
Mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley in a small bowl.
Brush the rolls with the garlic butter straight out of the oven. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, if you desire.
Serve warm with marinara sauce, pasta or soup. Enjoy!
