Garlic Knots

Ingredients:

400g flour
1 sachet yeast
3 tbs oil
¼ l warm water
1 tsp salt

Garlic spread:

5 Cloves of Garlic
2 Tbsp of Fresh Parsley
¼ Cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste

Preparation:

Mix warm water and yeast together. Let that sit for 5 minutes.

Add flour, oil and salt to the water and yeast. Mix this until smooth and let it raise for 10 minutes.

On a floured surface, roll your dough out about 1.5 cm thick.

Cut strips 1,5 cm wide for the garlic knots.

Roll the strips in your hands to look like ropes and then tie in knots.

Place the knots on a greased baking sheet and allow them to rise for another 10 minutes.

Bake at 200 degrees for about 15-20 minutes.

While they are baking, in a small food processor, add the garlic, oil and parsley, blend until smooth.

Immediately out of the oven add the knots to a large bowl and pour over the garlic oil, season with a little salt and pepper and toss together until they are well coated in the garlic oil.
