Garlic Parmesan Knots

These are not rolls that you decide to make at the last minute..they are a typical bread dough that requires 2 risings and baking time. But if you have a rainy day and feel like baking..they are well worth the effort.

2 c. warm water
2 T. yeast
2 t. salt
4-5 c. flour.
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese

Dissolve yeast in water, whisk well. Whisk in salt. Add flour one cup at a time until the dough forms a soft ball. Knead 5-6 minutes. Put in a grease bowl, covered, and let rise in a warm place for one hour. Punch down dough. Divide dough in 1/2.
Divide each half into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a 12" rope. Form a loop with each rope, tie into a knot. Tuck ends into roll. When all rolls are formed, put on baking pans and let rise one hour.

Preheat oven to 400. Bake rolls about 20-25 minutes. Brush with garlic butter and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Garlic Butter:
3 T. butter
4 cloves garlic
2 T. parsley
