    Garlic knots is an easy side dish when feeding a crowd. People love finger food. Firstly, nothing beats a good loaf of bread and secondly when it has a beautiful design to it. It just feeds your creativity too. They are a great addition to menu during a pizza night. Both golden brown homemade garlic knots and  air fryer garlic bread are tasty appetizer served with dipping sauces along with some warm pizza. Smell of fresh bread excites a foodie always. Warm buttery garlic knots makes me hungry always. Mini pizza, some pasta and a side of garlic knots is great for a party. Everyone loves it!

    You can make dinner rolls in advance and send it in bento box too. Warm it and have it with breakfast with some hot cuppa. It is perfect with any soup be it mushroom barley soup , tomato soup or vegan broccoli soup for an easy dinner. Other vegan dishes that I like include green moong dal curry , plum chutney, vegan carrot dogs , chana dal recipe & potato curry recipe.

    Toddlers love to chew on quick finger food. Hence it is great option for a busy monday night too. Bake with family over the weekend. Have it with soup and your monday night dinner is done. Best part, they are a great during road journeys for a nibble. I always feel hungry when I am travelling. Something to nibble makes me feel good. Happy tummy and happy me!

    How to increase fiber in your bread ?

    There are a number of ways that can help increase the fiber content in buns or bread.

    1.Use fiber rich flour such as whole-wheat flour/atta. In this case you may need to increase the quantity of yeast by 20% and use a bit more water/oil as this flour is a bit heaver than plain flour.

    2. Add additional additives such as flax seed meal . 1 cup of plain flour contains around 3.4 gms of fiber compared to 11 gms in 1 cup of whole meal flour. 1 tbsp. of flax seeds contains around 2 gms of fiber. So an addition of 3 tbsp. of flax seeds to plain flour can help you get similar fiber content as whole meal flour.

    3.Use a combination of above 2 as done in the below recipe.

    Ingredients

    • all purpose flour (unbleached plain flour )
    • yeast in warm water +½ tsp. sugar (or maple syrup)
    • water to knead the dough
    • salt
    • garlic powder
    • Seasoning mix (fresh garlic chives, dried herbs)
    • olive oil

    refer to recipe card for details.

    Notes

    To make sure that the buns are super soft, the dough needs to be sticky and a little wet.You may replace plain flour with wholewheat flour in this recipe, in that case you will need little more water to keep the dough soft.
    If your yeast is old, it will not bubble up. In this case, get a new packet else the garlic rolls will not come out good.

    Top tips
