 Everything_Garlic_Knots-4

 

Garlic Bread knots

 

For the dough:

  • 1 ¼ cup all purpose flour

  • 1 cup bread flour

  • 1 ½ tsp active dry yeast

  • 1 cup room temperature water

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil, plus more for oiling bowl

 

For the everything spice mix:

  • 1 Tbsp poppy seeds

  • 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds

  • 2 tsp dried garlic flakes

  • 2 tsp dried onion flakes

  • 1 tsp coarse salt

     

    For the garlic butter:

  • 1 ½ Tbsp olive oil

  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

 

Directions:

For the dough:

1. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine all dough ingredients on low speed.
2. Once the dough starts to come together, turn the mixer up to medium to knead for 3 minutes.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured or lightly oiled surface and knead by hand for an additional 3-5

minutes, until the dough is tight and smooth.

6. Lightly oil a large bowl and place the dough into the bowl.
7. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and place it in a warm spot to rise for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

For the everything spice mix:
1. Combine all ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Transfer the spice mix onto a large plate for easy rolling.

For the knots:
1. After the dough has doubled in sized, turn it out of the bowl onto a lightly floured or oiled surface and resist the urge to deflate and knead it.
2. Roll out the dough to a 6-inch by 12-inch rectangle with a rolling pin. Don’t over work the dough!
3. Cut the rectangle into twelve 1-inch strips with a knife or pizza roller.
4. Using lightly floured hands, roll each strip in the everything spice mix and knot the dough.
5. Place the knots on a lightly greased baking sheet, cover with a kitchen towel and place them in a warm spot to rise for 1 hour.
6. Pre-heat the oven to 400°F and bake the knots for 12-15 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.

For the garlic butter:
1. Combine the olive oil, butter and minced garlic in a small pan.
2. Heat over medium-low until the butter has melted and the garlic is fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
3. When the knots come out of the oven, brush each generously with the garlic butter, making sure to get the minced garlic onto the knots.

  • ⅓ cup salted butter

  • 1 head garlic, minced

  • 1 small bunch chives, finely chopped

  • Juice of 1 lemon

 A blue plate serving crunchy garlic chicken

 

Crunchy Garlic Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 4 tbsp (about 40g) grated parmesan

  • 5 tbsp mayonnaise

  • large garlic clove, crushed

  • 1 lemon , zested

  • 2 tsp finely chopped fresh herbs (such as thyme, sage or rosemary) or ½ tsp mixed dried herbs

  • 50g panko breadcrumbs

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • lemon wedges, snipped chives and roasted potatoes and tomatoes to serve (optional)

Step 1:

Make a production line of a board, two wide, shallow bowls or dishes, and a baking tray that will comfortably fit the chicken, lined with baking parchment or oiled foil.

Step 2:

If intending to bake immediately, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. (Otherwise, remember to turn the oven on 10 mins before baking.)

Step 3:

In the first dish, mix the parmesan, mayo, garlic, lemon zest, herbs and seasoning to form a paste – a tablespoon does this well, and helps at the next stage. Tip the crumbs into the second dish and shake so they cover the base.

Step 4:

Now the messy part. Put the chicken on the board and, if necessary, trim and discard any flappy bits. Blot well with kitchen paper – this will help the coating stick.

Step 5:

Slide the first breast into the mayo mix and use the spoon to make sure it is coated all over. Pick it up by the pointy end and place on the crumbs. Use a spoon to cover completely with crumbs, and press them on gently until covered all over. Pick up once again by the ‘tail’ and place on the prepared baking tray. Repeat with the second breast, then discard any leftover mayo and crumbs.

Step 6:

Bake for 25-30 mins until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a board and slice into three or four thick slices, scatter over the chives and serve with the lemon wedges, roasted potatoes and tomatoes, if you like.
