For a quick and delicious appetizer for parties, after school snacks, or even holidays, garlic knots are the perfect choice. Not only do they taste good, they are really affordable to make and they don’t take long at all to throw together. This recipe makes about 22 knots so you can easily double it without worrying too much about a jump in costs. I take these to all our family gatherings now and they are always a big crowd pleaser. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at 2pots2cook:
“The only thing I have changed in the Amish White Bread is the amount of sugar. I use less, otherwise it would be too sweet to go with the garlic spread.”
If you like a sweeter bread, don’t be afraid to toss some extra in the mix!
Ingredients
Ingredients for the dough:
4 cups Gold Medal flour
1 Tbsp Domino white sugar
1 Tbsp dry yeast
½ tsp McCormick’s garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1.5 cups + 6 Tbsp warm water
2 Tbsp sunflower oil
1 egg yolk and 3 Tbsp water for egg wash
Ingredients for the garlic spread:
1 Tbsp finely chopped garlic ( 3 cloves)
1 Tbsp parsley flakes
2 Tbsp sunflower oil
Instructions
In a bowl, mix all the dough ingredients and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
Prepare two sheet cake pans and cover them with baking paper, oiled on the upper side.
Mix the egg yolk and water for the egg wash.
Preheat the oven to 356° F / 180° C.
Take one half of the dough out and knead for a few minutes.
Roll the dough on an oiled surface to form a rectangular shape of 10 x 11 inches.
Using a sharp knife, cut it into ribbons, 1 inch wide.
Twist and tie each ribbon to have a knot.
Place the knots onto the oiled baking paper and egg wash them.
Bake for 15 – 16 minutes.
Repeat steps 5 to 10 with the rest of the dough.
When the second batch is baking, mix the ingredients for the garlic spread.
While the knots are still warm, brush the spread over them and serve.
