Ingredients
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 package yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 3/4 cup warm water + 3 tablespoons
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Garlic Topping
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 garlic cloves - crushed
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
Instructions
  1. Combine yeast and 3 tablespoons water together with 1 teaspoon of the sugar. Combine milk, water, olive oil in a mixing bowl. Add the yeast. Add the rest of the sugar to the mixing bowl. Add the flour and salt and mix well.
  2. Using a dough hook (or knead on the counter by hand) beat bread dough for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise until doubled. Punch down dough and remove from bowl. Place dough on a floured bread board or counter.
  3. Cut dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll into a 10 inch rope. Tie the rope into a knot. Take the end lying underneath the knot and bring it over the top, tucking it into the center and take the end lying over the knot and tuck it underneath and into the center. Pinch the 2 ends together if you can. Place on a greased cookie sheet. Cover and let raise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  4. Make the garlic topping. Melt the butter, add the crushed garlic and oregano. When the rolls have doubled brush the topping on with a pastry brush.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 - 18 minutes.
