Herb bread with tomato marinara sauce. Garlic yeast buns - knots

Marinara sauce is a traditional Italian sauce based on ripe tomatoes and herbs. It is very easy to prepare and is delicious provided that we use good tomatoes. I recommend pelati tomatoes, they have a rich flavor, they are peeled and completely dipped in passata.

Did you know that pelati is not the name of a tomato species? Pelati means that they are just peeled tomatoes.

Knots (knots) are nothing more than small yeast buns. And why knots? Because each portion of the cake is tied like a knot before baking ;-)

EXECUTION

BUNS - KNOTS

1. Herb butter - melt the butter, add spices, grated garlic and chopped parsley, mix.
2. Pour milk into a bowl, crumble yeast, add powdered sugar, stir until yeast dissolves.
3. Add the flour, mix until combined, cover and set aside for about 30 minutes.
4. We add salt to the dough and start kneading. We can knead the dough by hand or in a mixer with a hook.
5. Knead the dough until it starts to peel off from the sides of the bowl (or from your hands).
6. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and knead again until the dough absorbs the fat.
7. Cover the bowl with the kneaded dough and leave it at room temperature for about an hour.
8. Put the risen dough on a floured surface and divide it into 20 parts. From each portion of the dough form a roller, then tie it into a knot, and wrap the ends inside.
9. Place the knots on a baking tray covered with baking paper, cover and leave for about 30 minutes.
10. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
11. Just before baking, grease the knots with half a portion of herbal butter.
12. Bake for about 25 minutes until golden.
13. Still hot, spread with the remaining herb butter.
14. Serve hot or cold with tomato marinara sauce.
