Garlic Knots

1. Combine dry ingredients, add wet ingredients and knead until it forms into soft, elastic dough. Dough should be soft, but not too sticky. Test it: touch it with your fingertip and if it sticks to your finger when you pull away, it’s too sticky and you need to add a bit more flour.

2. Transfer dough to a ligthly oiled bowl, turn once to coat and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for 1 hour.

3. Divide the dough into 10 equal balls. Shape each ball on floured surface into a 10 inch long rope and tie the rope into a knot. Transfer shaped knots to a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for 45 minutes.

4. Heat oven to 180 Celsius.

5. Make the glaze: melt butter with some Italian seasoning and minced garlic (or press the garlic through a garlic press). Brush the glaze onto the shaped rolls. Bake about 30 minutes.
