Toppings
- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 50 g butter (melted)

- Dissolve the yeast with the sugar in lukewarm water. In a microwave, melt the butter.

- Grease the bowl with butter and place the dough back in. Cover with a tea towel and place in a warm place for the dough to rise until double in size.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Roll the dough on a floured surface without knocking out the air. Divide it into small balls of equal size. Roll out each ball into an oblong shape and tie each into a knot. Place the knotted dough on a lined tray.
- Cover with a tea towel and let rise until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
- Prepare the garlic-coriander butter by adding the minced garlic to the melted butter.
