Cheese Knot Rolls Recipe

How to make it

---

• Combine 2 cups flour and yeast in large mixer bowl.
• In saucepan, heat milk, cheese, sugar, butter and salt just until warm (115 to 120 degrees), stirring constantly until butter almost melts.
• Add to dry mixture in mixing bowl, add egg.
• Beat at low speed for 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl frequently.
• Beat at high speed for 3 minutes.
• By hand, stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
• Turn out onto lightly floured board, knead until smooth and elastic, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Shape into a ball.
• Place into lightly greased bowl, turning to grease surface.
• Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Punch dough down; turn out onto lightly floured board.
• Divide dough into 4 equal pieces; shape each into a ball.
• Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
• Roll each ball into a 12 x 6-inch rectangle.
• Cut crosswise into 6 x 1-inch strips.
• Tie each strip into a loose knot.
• Place 2 to 3 inches apart on a greased baking sheet; cover and let rise until double, 40 minutes.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
• NOTES : If dough strips shrink, pull gently to stretch before tying knots.
