Garlic And Rosemary Knots Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper. Line two large baking sheets with parchment, and set aside.
• Working on a floured work surface, cut dough into 2-ounce portions. Roll each to an 11-inch length. Dip each in oil mixture; tie into a knot. Place knots at least 1 1/4 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Cover with plastic wrap; set aside to rise until dough does not spring back when pressed with a finger, about 20 minutes. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• For the garlic confit: Combine the garlic, peppercorns, thyme sprigs, bay leaves, chiles and rosemary sprig in a medium saucepan and cover with the olive oil. Cook over low heat until the garlic is tender, about 45 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
• With tongs, remove the thyme, rosemary, bay leaves and chiles and discard. With a slotted spoon, remove the garlic to a bowl. Strain the oil into a liquid measuring cup and reserve.
• For the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, combine the water, sugar and yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes until frothy. Add 2 tablespoons of the reserved garlic confit oil.
• In a bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the flour to the yeast mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, while mixing on low speed. Once the flour has settled, raise the speed to high and mix until the dough can be pulled away from the sides of the bowl but is still quite tacky, about 10 minutes.
• Grease a large bowl with more of the reserved garlic confit oil, then scrape the dough into the bowl. Turn the dough to coat it in the oil. Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place (the top of the fridge is usually good) until doubled, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to the highest setting (550 degrees F) with a pizza stone in the lower part of the oven.
• Turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface and form it into a smooth ball. Cut the dough into 2 equal portions. Each ball will be approximately 12 ounces of dough. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest until elastic, 10 to 15 minutes.
• For the filling: Add the thyme, rosemary, lemon zest and salt to the garlic confit, stirring to combine.
• On the floured surface, spread each ball of dough out into about a 10-inch circle. Fill each ball with half of the garlic mixture. Gather up the edges of the dough and pinch together. Then, using butcher string, tie the knots shut. Brush each knot with reserved garlic confit oil.
• Place the knots directly onto the pizza stone and bake, checking after 10 minutes and covering with foil if getting too brown, until very darkly caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately in a puddle of the reserved garlic confit oil.

Steps:

• In a medium pan over low heat, warm milk and 3/4 cup of butter until it melts. Stir occasionally to prevent milk from burning. Let cool.
• Combine warm water, 1 teaspoons sugar, and yeast in a small bowl and let stand for 5 minutes until it softens and begins to puff.
• In the bowl of a standing mixer using the whisk attachment, beat the eggs and remaining sugar at low speed until blended. Beat in the milk mixture. Gradually add 2-1/2 cups of the flour, 1/2 cup at a time until blended smooth.
• Replace the whisk with the dough hook. Add the yeast mixture, salt, and 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and beat at medium low speed (2 on the KA mixer). You will have a very wet and loose dough that climbs the dough hook but falls back down into the bowl by this time.
• Two tablespoons at a time, add enough flour to form a firm but sticky dough ball. The dough ball will pull away from the sides of the bowl and not flop back to the sides. It will feel like "fly paper" when you touch it.
• Pour some oil into a large bowl that can be fitted with a lid or plastic cling wrap. On a very lightly flour dusted counter, and with lightly floured hands, turn the dough out and give it 3-5 quick hand kneads to form a good dough ball. Then put it in the buttered bowl, turning it over to coat evenly. Cover the bowl tightly, and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• After an hour, punch down the dough, fold it over in half, then in half again, and cover the bowl again and let rise again until double, about 1 more hour.
• About 10 minutes before the last rise, in a large skillet, melt 4 T butter with 4 T extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant but not brown, about 2 minutes. Add the fresh rosemary and sea salt, mix well and scrape into a bowl. Set aside.
• When the last rise is done, you're ready to shape the rolls. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work space and cut it into 16 even pieces. Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll into a rope about 11-inches long and flatten it. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoons of the garlic rosemary mixture along its length, then fold lengthwise and press the edges together TIGHTLY. Twist lenthwise, then shape into a knot. As you finish, place each on a parchment or silicone lined baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Then let rise for about 45 minutes to an hour, until puffed.
• Before the end of this last rise, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake the knots for about 15 minutes, until golden. Remove from oven and brush with remaining garlic rosemary mixture or use to dip.
