Garlic Parmesan Knots

*I haven't tried these yet...but they look good! So hopefully soon!

Ingredients
1/2 batch buttermilk roll dough (as seen below)
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup melted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese to sprinkle in top

Mix up 1/2 batch of buttermilk roll dough as directed except for add the 1 cup parmesan cheese with the flour to incorporate it into the dough. Let rise as directed in the roll recipe.

Buttermilk Dough


Dissolve:
4 TBSP yeast
1 TBSP sugar in
1 cup warm water

Add:
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar

In a saucepan warm:
4 cups buttermilk
1 cup margarine or butter

Add:
1 tsp. soda
4 tsp. salt

Stir the buttermilk mixture into the yeast and egg mixture. Gradually add 12 cups flour to form a soft dough. Place in a greased bowl cover and let rise for 60 minutes or until double in size.

While dough is rising melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the minced garlic to the butter, let simmer for about 1 minute. Take off heat.

When dough is finished rising, punch it down. Roll out into a thin rectangle on a floured surface. Using a pizza cutter cut the dough into strips about 1/2 in x 6 inches. Tie each strip into a knot and place on a greased baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Brush each knot liberally with the garlic butter. Let rise 15 minutes. Bake in a 350 oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with more garlic butter while hot and sprinkle 1/2 cup parmesan cheese over the tops. Makes about 5 dozen knots.
