Ingredients

• yeast, fresh 0.5 pcs
• water 250 ml
• sugar 1 tsp
• parsley, fresh 60 g
• dill, fresh 30 g
• chives, fresh 30 g
• onions, red 1 pcs
• parmesan 100 g
• wheat flour, Type 405 500 g
• salt 1 tsp
• garlic cloves 1 pcs
• olive oil 4 tbsp
• pepper, black ground pinch
• eggs 1 pcs

Instructions

1. 1. In a bowl, dissolve the yeast with sugar in lukewarm water and let it rest covered for about 10 minutes.
2. 2. Wash the herbs thoroughly, dry them, remove the thick stems, and chop finely. Halve the onion, peel it, and dice it finely. Grate the Parmesan coarsely.
3. 3. In the bowl, mix the yeast water with flour, salt, half of the herbs, the onion, and the Parmesan to form a smooth dough. Let the dough rise covered in a warm place for about 1 hour until it has doubled in size.
4. 4. Meanwhile, peel the garlic. In a tall container, puree the remaining herbs with the garlic and olive oil until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
5. 5. Knead the dough again and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1 cm thick. Spread the herb pesto on the dough. Cut the dough in half and place the spread side on top of each other. Cut into 8 long strips.
6. 6. Twist the dough strips together and roll each into a snail shape. Press the ends into the center to form a knot. Place the yeast knots on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them rest covered for about 15 minutes.
7. 7. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (convection). Beat the egg in a bowl. Brush the yeast knots with the egg and bake in the oven for about 25 minutes. Serve the knots warm or cold with herbs. Enjoy your meal!
