Instructions

Make Topping

1. Combine butter, garlic, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl.

Get That Dough

1. Add ingredients in this order: Milk, Egg, Butter, Sugar, Salt, Bread Flour, Yeast
2. Set bread machine to “Knead” or “Dough” cycle. Should be around 15 minutes usually.

First Rise

1. After the dough cycle is complete, move the dough to an oiled bowl (you can use olive oil of any kind).
2. Set in a warm area (i.e. proofing cycle in oven or next to a space heater in the spare bedroom) and let rise until doubled in size (approximately one hour).

Shape and Second Rise

1. Punch the dough down, then use a rolling pin to flatten out into a rectangle
2. Cut into half-inch strips.
3. Roll each strip into a long rope.
4. Tie into a knot, tucking the ends into/under the roll.
5. Place onto a greased baking sheet, and put it somewhere warm again to rise (30 minutes or so).

Get Baked

1. Heat the oven up to 375F.
2. Brush the knots with butter topping (and top with parmesan, if that sounds good to you!) and bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
3. After you pull them out, hit them with some more butter if you want. You won’t regret it.

That’s all, folks!

Enjoy them – if you followed our advise, they should be delicious!
