Instructions
Make the Dough:
- Combine the dry ingredients in the bowl of a large food processor. Process for a few seconds to mix.3 cups bread flour, 1 Tablespoon sugar, 2 teaspoons instant yeast, 1 ¼ teaspoon salt
- Add the olive oil, milk and water and turn on until ingredients have formed a ball (it won't take long, maybe 30 seconds).2 tablespoons olive oil, ¼ cup milk, 1 cup + 2 tablespoons lukewarm water
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface to form a smooth, elastic dough, adding additional water or flour as needed.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turn to coat, and cover with lightly oiled/sprayed plastic wrap. Allow to rise for about 1 hour, until it has doubled in bulk.
- Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll each into a 10-inch long rope and tie into a knot. Take the end lying underneath the knot and bring it over the top, tucking it into the center. Take the end lying over the knot and tuck it underneath and into the center.
- Transfer the shaped rolls to a baking stone or a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for 45 minutes, until puffy. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.
Make the Glaze and Bake:
- Finely mince the garlic (or use a garlic press). Mix the melted butter and Italian seasoning.2 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons melted butter, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Brush the glaze onto the shaped rolls. Bake until set and lightly browned, about 15-18 minutes. Alternatively, for more intense garlic flavor, brush the glaze on the rolls after baking.
