Living in NYC, you must eat pizza daily. At least, that’s my belief. And when walking into any pizzeria in town, it’s so hard to resist the warm garlic knots that are constantly coming out of the oven. Soft dough, brushed generously with butter, parsley, and garlic mix. Ohh so good! As spring is approaching us any day now, you see all the fresh produce coming to life! And one of my absolute favorite spring veggies must be green garlic. It’s the time of year when you can simply use the entire garlic, the entire bulb, and the stalk. Most people make pesto with it, which is divine, but I thought it could be cool to take the classic garlic knots and swap the regular garlic with green garlic. It’s milder in flavor, so beautiful in color, and has an addictive smell. It would be difficult not to eat the entire tray alone right when it comes out of the oven. Give it a shot before the green garlic season is over. It’s a wonderful time of the year! Celebrate the season!

Lets Start Cooking!

step 1

In a stand mixer’s bowl, add the water, yeast, sugar, flour, olive oil, and salt.

step 2

Set the mixer on the second-lowest speed and knead for 12-14 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

step 3

Round the dough into a tight ball and place in a bowl (covered with a plastic wrap), until doubled in size.

step 4

Once the dough has doubled in size, divide into 12 pieces, 100-110 gr each piece.

step 5

Round each piece of dough into a tight ball, and let them rest for 10 minutes (covered with a towel/plastic wrap).

step 6

Working on one ball of dough at a time, flatten the ball upside down and roll into a long cylinder. Roll it on itself into a knot shape.

step 7

Place all the knots in a baking tray, 1/2 inch one from another, and cover with a plastic wrap. Let proof for 30 min. In the meantime, preheat your oven to 350°F of 175°C.

step 8

After 30 minutes, brush the knots with an egg wash and bake for 20 min. In the meantime, prepare the toppings.

step 9

In a small saucepan, melt the butter.

step 10

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with the chopped parsley, chopped green garlic, and salt.

step 11

Once the knots are ready, pull them out of the oven and immediately brush with the topping mix.

step 12

Eat while warm, or close in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days in a room temperature.

step 13

YASSS!
