Creole Mustard Knots Recipe

How to make it

---

• In medium glass bowl, microwave 4T butter until almost melted(I did mine for 20 seconds).
• Stir for a few seconds to melt rest of butter(you don't want this too hot, so try not to microwave more than JUST to melt it)
• Add buttermilk(remember, room temperature) and stir to combine.
• Add 1/4 cup honey and stir again.
• Sir in yeast and proof by letting it stand about 10 minutes until foamy.
• Meanwhile, combine flours, salt and peppers in stand mixer bowl. See Photo
• Add mustard to yeast/milk mixture and slowly add to mixer while running at medium/low speed until all liquid is added, and is mixed.
• Turn up speed to medium high and mix with dough hook for about 5-7 minutes. Add more milk or flour a couple t at a time, if needed to adjust dough consistency.
• Remove dough ball to lightly sprayed glass bowl and let rest in warm place to rise, about 1 1/2-2 hours See Photo. Dough should approx. double in size. See Photo
• Punch bread dough down after first rise and break off about 2-3T size bits and "roll" them into an approx 7 inch rope. See Photo
• Roll into crossed ribbon shape. See Photo
• Then bring one end through and create a "knot". You want this snug, but not tight. :) See Photo
• Continue with remaining dough, placing prepared knots onto lightly sprayed or greased baking sheets.
• Once all knots are made, let rise on cookie sheets about 1 hour. See Photo
• Combine remaining butter(melted), honey, and a dash of cayenne and black pepper and lightly brush over rolls just before baking.
• Bake at 400 for about 12-15 minutes, until lightly browning on top.
