Ingredients
  

  • 300 g Plain Flour
  • 7 g Fast-Action Yeast
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 180 ml Warm Water
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 100 g Mozzarella Cheese Grated
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 2 tbsp Butter Unsalted, Melted
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley Chopped

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, fast-action yeast, salt, and sugar.
  • Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it proof for 1 hour in a warm place until doubled in size.
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C.
  • Once the dough has risen, divide it into small portions, about the size of a golf ball, and roll each into a rope. Tie the ropes into knots and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  • Brush the melted butter over each knot and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  • In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic with the remaining butter and fresh parsley.
  • Remove the knots from the oven, brush them generously with the garlic butter, and sprinkle the grated mozzarella over the top.
  • Return to the oven for 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts and is bubbly.
