Bread makes a great side to a steamy bowl of soup or a cool crisp salad. Today, I have a recipe for Cami’s Homemade Garlic Knots that will be perfect for this time of year. Serve it up with soup or pasta.
This recipe comes from a friend of mine. She happends to also be a blogger and cookbook auther too. Her daughter is the one that happens to make these delicious knots.
The dough for these knots is beutiful and so easy to work with. I mix it up in my Kitchen Aid stand mixer. I always use it whenever I make any type of bread.
You divide this dough into 12 pieces. Then roll each piece into a rope. Next, just tie each rope in a knot. I like to tuck the one end of the knot under making more of a rosette.
Then Cami’s homemade garlic knots just need a little time to rise. Place them somewhere warm and you’ll be good. After they bake, the get a brushing of garlic butter and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. I love that this garlic butter has two forms of garlic in it to punch up the flavor.
