Garlic Knots - bread machine

Mmmmm!  Made these as part of my Thanksgiving here at home this year and we all loved them.  And they are super easy, thanks to the bread machine!  I want to make these again very soon...they are a 10 for sure :)  **I forgot to get a pic of the finished ones alone, oops...so here is a pic of the whole dinner instead, where you can see the knots :)**

Ingredients (for the dough):

1 c. water
2 T. unsalted butter, softened/room temp.
1 egg, room temp.
3 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 T. bread machine yeast (regular active dry yeast)

Instructions:

1. Place all ingredients in the hopper for your bread machine in order listed (unless otherwise indicated by your manual).

2. Select 'dough' cycle and press start.

3. Meanwhile, line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper (or a silpat mat) and coat with cooking spray.

4. Once the dough cycle has finished, remove hopper from machine and turn dough out onto a well floured surface.

5. Flatten out the dough (not sure of exact thickness, guessing 1/2"), then cut into strips as shown:

6. Tie each strip in a knot and place on prepared baking sheet.  Cover sheet with a dishcloth or plastic wrap and place in a warm area for 30 minutes to let dough rise.

7. Heat oven to 400°F, bake 9-12 minutes (or until golden brown).

8. Meanwhile, prepare the buttery-garlic coating--

Ingredients (for buttery-garlic coating):

2 T. butter, melted

garlic salt, to taste (I didn't measure, think I used around 1/8 to 1/4 tsp.)

9. Mix all ingredients in small bowl.  Right after the knots come out of the oven, use a basting/pastry brush to coat each knot with the buttery-herb mixture.

10. Serve immediately and enjoy!  (These keep well in fridge for reheating, too.)
