Garlic Knots - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups bread flour
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp instant yesat
1 tsp salt
5 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup milk
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh parsley leaves, chopped

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Add olive oil, milk and 1 cup lukewarm water and mix until combined. Knead until smooth and elastic, around 8 mins. Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let proof for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Divide the dough into 15 pieces then roll each piece into a long rope and tie into a knot. Transfer knots to prepared tray, cover with a clean tea towel and set aside to proof for 30 mins. Bake proofed knots for 15-20 mins, until golden brown.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook garlic until lightly browned. Add parsley and cook for 1 min. Remove from heat.
Remove knots from oven and toss with garlic and parsley mixture. Season. Serve warm or at room temperature.
