Ingredients

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ¼ teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 cup milk lukewarm
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil

To top:

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tablespoon dried thyme

Instructions

  • Start with making the topping, mix olive oil and minced garlic in a small bowl and set it aside so the oil is infused with garlic. You can do this step even days ahead.
  • Whisk flour, sugar, salt and instant yeast in a large bowl.
  • Pour in lukewarm milk (it should be warm enough but not hot) and olive oil. Start mixing with a wooden spoon and when the mixture has come together, use your hands to shape it into a ball.
  • Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until the dough is soft and bounces back when you poke it with a finger.
  • Transfer the dough back to the bowl and brush with olive oil. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 90 minutes. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • After the dough has risen, gently press it down to remove excess air and then divide the dough into 20 pieces. Shape into a string and then make a knot. Place the knots on the baking sheets, cover and let them rise for another 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Brush infused olive oil on the knots and sprinkle with dried thyme. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
  • Serve with anything you like!
