• Sprinkle some olive oil while kneading. Knead for 10-12 minutes till the dough becomes bouncy and pliable.
• Transfer the dough into a well oiled bowl and cover the bowl with a moist towel and allow it to rise till it is double in volume.
• Meanwhile heat the butter and some olive oil along with the garlic paste, chilli flakes, oregano and little salt and allow it to cool.
• Once the dough has doubled in size, take it out of the bowl and punch out the gases and knead again for a minute or two.
• Divide the dough into 11-12 equal parts.
• Roll each part into a long rope and make knots of it.

• Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

• Now brush it literally with the butter garlic mixture and allow these knots to rise again for 20-25 minutes.

• Meanwhile preheat the oven at 180 degree Celsius for 10 minutes.
• Brush some more butter mixture and bake for 25-28 minutes or till the crust becomes golden in colour.

• Remove the tray from the oven and serve it warm with a bowl of piping hot soup and a cheesy dip. Enjoy 🙂
