Enhance the Dough:
- Use a combination of bread flour and all-purpose flour for a chewier, more flavorful dough.
- Add some grated Parmesan cheese to the dough for a savory twist.
- Brush the knots with garlic butter before baking to enhance their aroma and flavor.
Elevate the Garlic Knots:
- Roll the dough into thin strands and wrap them around hot dog halves, securing the ends with toothpicks. This creates a fun and visually appealing presentation.
- Top the knots with chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil, before baking for an extra layer of flavor and color.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the knots before baking for a golden brown crust.
Enhance the Spicy Tomato Oil:
- Use sun-dried tomatoes in oil for a more intense flavor.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper to the oil for extra spice.
- Simmer the oil with garlic and onions to create a more flavorful base.
Additional Tips:
- Serve the knots warm with dipping sauces such as marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, or garlic mayo.
- Accompany the knots with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
- Make ahead and reheat: The knots can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or microwave when ready to serve.
Variations:
- Use Italian sausage or bratwurst instead of hot dogs.
- Add chopped olives or capers to the dough for a briny flavor.
- Use different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar, in the dough or topping.
- Experiment with different dipping sauces, such as pesto or balsamic glaze.
