Now take the dough and divide it into equal portions. Take a ball, roll it out, then make a knot out of it.
Arrange this in a buttered baking pan leaving little space between each of them. Now cover it with a damp cloth and let it rise for 30 to 45 min.
In the last 10 mins of rising, preheat oven to 200 degree C.
Just before putting in oven, brush it with the garlic herb butter and sprinkle cheese over it.
Now place this in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 mins
Notes:
1)I used unsalted butter, so added salt. if you are using salted butter, then dont add salt.
2)You can any herbs, chilli flakes, pepper in the butter.

Can I use whole wheat flour ?
@sutapa Purkayasthayes u can use
Hi aarthi,
I made these buns the other day and baked them perfectly till light golden color. However I found that they were hard soon after I removed them from the oven and even after cooling them for 15 minutes they were hard on the outside. The insides were very soft and fluffy. I am worried about the outside texture. Can you let me know where I went wrong because I want to try them again.
@Anonymousi am not sure what must have gone wrong. You can do onething. as soon as they come from oven, cover them with a damp cloth for few mins, this softens the crust
Hi Ms.Aarthi… The buns look fabulous.
I don't have an oven…

Hi,
I tried baking it yesterday… Everythg was ok except the colour of the garlic knots didnt turn brown at all. It was fully cooked but remained white in colour ( it tasted awesome, but too dry) Do you know where i went wrong. I saw your pictures showing the garlic knots in golden brown 🙁
Hi arthi,
I tried the recipe few days back and the bun was cooked well but the color didnt turn brownish at all. Rather the garlic knots remained white in color. But the taste was good. Wonder whr i went wrong. Hope you can help as i want to try again.
@Anonymousit depends on each oven, what you can do is, after the knots are baked, you can brush the top with some butter and grill or broil them for 45 sec, it will give nice colour
Tried it and it was great. Thanks
