Parmesan Garlic Knots Recipes

Steps:

• Add the warm water to a medium bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let sit for 5 minutes, or until mixture is frothy.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, Parmesan cheese, sugar, baking powder, salt, basil, and oregano.
• Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the yeast-water mixture. Mix with a rubber spatula until a ball of dough forms.
• Dump the dough out onto a clean surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until the dough is springy.
• Grease the large bowl with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Sprinkle a bit of flour over the dough then dump onto a clean surface. Tear the dough into 30 separate pieces, then roll into 6-inch (15-cm) long strips.
• Place a strip of bacon over each dough strip. Tie both together to form a knot.
• Place the knots on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until bread is golden brown and the bacon is crispy.
• In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic, and remaining 2 teaspoons of Parmesan cheese.
• Brush the knots with the butter mixture and bake for another 5 minutes.
• Transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped parsley.
• Serve with marinara sauce alongside.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In small bowl, stir warm water and yeast with whisk. Let stand until foamy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
• In medium bowl, mix flours, sugar and salt. Make well in center of mixture; add 1 tablespoon oil and the yeast mixture. Stir together just until combined.
• Place dough on lightly floured surface; knead about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding more flour as necessary. Shape dough into a ball; place in large bowl. Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil, turning dough to coat with oil. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in warm place about 1 hour or until dough has doubled in size.
• Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Gently push fist into dough to deflate. Divide dough in half; shape each half into 5-inch square about 1/2 inch thick. Cut each square into 5 (1-inch) strips. Lightly flour strips and quickly tie each strip into a knot. Place about 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Lightly spray rolls with cooking spray. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; let rise until slightly puffy, about 30 minutes.
• Heat oven to 400°F. Uncover rolls. Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove rolls from cookie sheet to cooling rack; place sheet of cooking parchment paper or waxed paper under rack. Cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, in small saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Cook garlic in butter 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender. Stir in parsley; remove from heat. Brush butter-garlic topping over rolls; sprinkle with cheese. Serve warm.
