    Ingredients
     

    • 2 teaspoon active dry yeast - or 25 g fresh
    • ½ teaspoon sugar
    • 1 ⅓ cups water - lukewarm
    • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 teaspoon salt
    • 2 tablespoon olive oil
    • ¼ cup butter - melted
    • 1 tablespoon parsley - dried
    • 3 cloves garlic - pressed
    • ¼ cup parmesan cheese - finely grated
    • ½ cup mozzarella - shredded

    Instructions

    • Dissolve the sugar and yeast in the water, and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
    • In a large bowl, stir together the flour and the salt, then stir in the yeast mixture and olive oil and combine well.
    • Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for about 6 - 8 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
    • Form the dough into a ball, and return it to the large bowl, drizzle a little olive oil over it, roll it around to coat well, then cover with a towel and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size - about an hour.
    • Mix the melted butter, parsley and garlic in a small bowl and set aside.
    • In another small bowl mix together the cheeses and set aside.
    • Punch the dough down and separate into small, golf ball sized balls - you should end up with about 20 balls.
    • Roll each ball into a rope and tie into a knot.
    • Dip each knot into the melted butter mixture and place half of them on the bottom of a spring form pan, not quite touching.  Sprinkle half of the cheese mixture over them, then stack the remaining knots on top and sprinkle on the rest of the cheese.
    • Cover the pan with a towel and allow to rise again, this time about 30 minutes.
    • Heat the oven to 350 F (175 C) and bake for about 35 - 40 minutes, or until golden brown.
