HOW FAST IS 21 KNOTS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone liner or Silpat.
• In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk well. Add the yogurt and mix with a spoon until incorporated. Then use your dry hands and knead about 15 times. If it's too sticky you can add a little more flour. Roll into a ball.
• Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces then roll each piece into worm like strips, about 9 inches long.
• Tie each breadstick into a “knot-like” ball; place on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the top with olive oil.
• Bake on the top third of the oven until golden about 18 minutes. Let them cool 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in medium nonstick skillet melt the butter, add the garlic and cook until golden, 2 minutes.
• Toss the knots in the skillet with the melted butter and garlic or use a brush to cover the knots with the garlic.
• If the knots are too dry, give them another mist of olive oil. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
• Air Fryer Method:

Steps:

• Sprinkle the yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar over 1/2 cup of warm water in a small bowl. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
• Add milk, shortening, eggs, oil, 3 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Blend with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Mix in remaining 3 cups of flour by hand, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. The dough will be sticky.
• Lightly oil a large bowl, then place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Uncover the dough and punch it down.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pull off baseball size portions of dough and roll into "snakes" about 6 inches long. Roll each "snake" into a spiral to give the tops some texture. Set each formed bun aside.
• Mix the baking soda and 4 cups hot water in a bowl. The baking soda does not need to dissolve completely. Dip each bun in the baking soda solution before placing on a baking sheet. Brush each bun with melted butter and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake in the preheated oven until brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack or brown paper bag.
