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

Take it out and apply some butter over the top,so that it looks glossy and shiny.

Serve hot or warm with a cup of tea.
