Garlic Knot Hearts Recipes

Steps:

• For the dough, mix together the flour, yeast, and salt, and make a well in the middle.
• Pour the water and 1 teaspoon of olive oil into the well and mix together.
• Knead for about 7-10 minutes until the dough is springy.
• Line a bowl with the other teaspoon of olive oil, place the dough in the bowl, cover, and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour (or until doubled in size).
• Tear the dough into 9 separate balls and then roll into long tubes, folding over to make a knot.
• Place the knots on a baking tray.
• Bake in a 350°F (180°C) oven for 10 minutes.
• Prepare the garlic butter by mixing the butter, garlic, and parsley.
• Coat the knots with the butter mixture and bake for another 5 minutes.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. In a small saucepan over medium low heat, melt butter. Stir in chopped garlic and Italian seasoning blend then remove from heat.
• Unroll breadstick dough and separate along perforated lines. Working with one at a time, brush the dough lightly with garlic herb butter. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon parmesan cheese over dough. Roll ends of dough towards each other. When they meet, place on prepared baking sheet. Pinch the bottom of the dough into a point to make a heart-shape. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
• Brush the tops of the bread hearts with garlic butter, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and bake until golden, about 12-15 minutes.
• Remove from oven, brush well with remaining garlic butter, sprinkle with remaining parmesan cheese and garnish with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Prepare Basic Pizza Dough as recipe instructs below and set aside to rise.
• Combine butter and garlic in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Cover, remove from the heat and set aside. Keep warm.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and lightly grease 2 large baking sheets. Set aside.
• Remove risen dough from the bowl and place on a lightly floured surface. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough out into a large rectangle, about 16 by 12 inches. Brush the dough lightly with the olive oil. Cut the dough in half lengthwise and then cut crosswise into strips about 1 1/4 inches wide. Tie each strip loosely into a knot, stretching gently if necessary, and place on prepared baking sheets about 2-inches apart. Sprinkle the tops of the knots with salt. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 30 minutes.
• Bake until golden brown and risen, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and toss gently with the warm garlic butter, Pecorino Romano cheese, and parsley. Add salt to taste if necessary. Serve immediately.
• In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, honey, and 1 tablespoon oil, stirring to combine. Let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour and the salt, mixing by hand until it is all incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Continue adding the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, working the dough after each addition, until the dough is smooth but still slightly sticky. You may not need all of the flour. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth but still slightly tacky, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Oil a large mixing bowl with remaining olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place, free from drafts until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.

Steps:

• Proof yeast in water, honey and oil. Let sit for about 5 minutes or until foamy.
• Once proofed add 1 cup of the flour mixed with salt and cheese to the yeast mixture stirring until very smooth.
• Add the rest of the flour a little at a time stirring well after each addition of flour.
• Once flour is added knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes or until smooth.
• Place dough in an oiled bowl, turning to coat, and let rise for about 1 1/2 hours covered with a towel.
• Grease a baking sheet and preheat oven to 375°F.
• Roll risen dough out into a rectangle and spread oil over dough then and cut into 12 strips. Tie each strip into a knot and place on the baking sheet. Cover and let rise again for about 30 minutes.
• While dough is rising again mix butter and garlic in a saucepan over low heat for about 2-3 minutes.
• Bake for about 20 minutes then coat with garlic butter and sprinkle with cheese and enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven. Lightly oil 2 large baking sheets.
• Divide pizza dough in half. Keep half of dough covered with a clean kitchen towel. Gently roll out other half into a 10" square on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. Use hand to pull corners, if dough is very elastic. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow to rest about 3 minutes.
• Cut dough square in half with a pizza wheel or a sharp heavy knife, then cut each half crosswise into 15 strips (about 2/3" wide). Cover strips with clean kitchen towel.
• Keeping remaining strips covered, gently tie each strip into a knot, pulling ends slightly to secure (if dough is sticky, dust lightly with flour) and arranging knot 1" apart in staggered rows on 1 large baking sheet. Keep knots covered with clean kitchen towel.
• Roll out and cut remaining dough, then form into knots and arrange on second baking sheet.
• Bake, switching position of baking sheets halfway through baking, until golden, 20-25 minutes.
• While knots bake, mince garlic and mash to a paste with salt, then stir together with oil in a very large bowl. Immediately after baking, toss knots in garlic oil, then sprinkle with parsley and cheese and toss to coat. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• Knots can be baked, but not coated 2 hours ahead. Reheat on a large baking sheet in a preheated 350 degree oven until hot, 3-5 minutes. Toss immediately with garlic oil and sprinkle with cheese and parsley.

Steps:

• Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 400°F Lightly oil 2 large (17- by 13-inch) baking sheets.
• Divide dough in half. Keep half of dough covered with a clean kitchen towel (not terry cloth). Gently roll out other half into a 10-inch square on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. (Use your hands to pull corners. If dough is very elastic, cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest about 3 minutes.).
• Cut square in half with a pizza wheel or a sharp heavy knife, then cut each half crosswise into 15 strips (about 2/3 inch wide). Cover strips with a clean kitchen towel.
• Keeping remaining strips covered, gently tie each strip into a knot, pulling ends slightly to secure (if dough is sticky, dust lightly with flour) and arranging knots 1 inch apart in staggered rows on 1 baking sheet. Keep knots covered with clean kitchen towels.
• Roll out and cut remaining dough, then form into knots, arranging 1 inch apart in staggered rows on second baking sheet. Bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until golden, 20 to 25 minutes total.
• While knots bake, mince garlic and mash to a paste with salt, then stir together with oil in a very large bowl.
• Immediately after baking, toss knots in garlic oil, then sprinkle with parsley and cheese and toss to coat. Serve warm or at room temperature.
