You can make this bread in your electric mixer using a dough hook, in your breadmaker on the dough setting, or by hand. First combine the water, yeast, sugar and salt. Let sit 5 minutes.

Add flour and combine. Knead for at least 10 minute (5 minutes in electric mixer) until the dough is shiny and smooth.

Coat the bottom of a large bowl with olive oil and place dough in bowl. Flip dough over (so it now has oil on both sides) and let rise in a draft free area one hour or until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough. Keep dividing the dough in halves until you have 36 – 40 pieces of dough. Roll into 4 – 5 inch ropes and tuck one end under the other, forming a ‘knot’.

Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and let rise in a draft free area one hour. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Meanwhile combine the last 5 ingredients.

Use a pastry brush or dunk the bread knots into the garlic oil. Enjoy!
