Bacon and mashed potato garlic knots

INGREDIENTS:

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Prepare dough by dissolving yeast in warm water.
Stir and allow to bloom and foam for 3-5 minutes.
Stir in honey, and pour mixture into flour, stirring until a ball is formed.

Knead dough until no longer tacky.
Cover and let rise until doubled in size.

In a pot, combine garlic and butter and simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Cut dough into 2-inch pieces and roll out about a 1/4-inch thick.
Brush with garlic butter, sprinkle with bacon, cheese and a dollop of mashed potatoes.
Fold and press the edges together to form a little dough ball.
Brush with more garlic butter and pop into a prepared cupcake pan.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
