Skill required: Very Confident Beginner
Dough
3 cups bread flour
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup + 2 tablespoons lukewarm water
Glaze
2 to 4 cloves peeled, crushed garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil or garlic oil
1. In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the dry ingredients together, then add the olive oil and water.
2. Using the paddle attachment or dough hook, mix and knead to form a smooth, elastic dough, adding additional water or flour as needed.
3. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover it, and allow it to rise for about 1 hour, until it's doubled in bulk.
4. Divide the dough into 8 pieces, and roll each into a rope about 10 inches long; tie each rope into a knot.
5. Place the knots on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise for 45 minutes to about an hour, until very puffy looking.
6. Glaze: Whisk together the garlic, oil and seasoning. Set it aside.
7. Bake the knots in a preheated 350 degreeF oven for 15 - 18 minutes. They should be set, but only very lightly browned.
8. Remove the knots from the oven, and brush or drizzle them with the seasoned oil. Eat the knots warm.
Yield: 8 garlic knots. (This recipe is easily doubled, tripled, etc.)
