  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast

  1. In the bowl of a standing mixer, combine the water, milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add in the flour, salt, oregano, egg, and melted butter. Using the dough hook attachment, knead on low speed for 5 minutes.
  3. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let the dough rise in a warm, draft free space for an hour.
  4. Divide the risen dough into 8 equal portions.
  5. Roll a portion out into a long, flat rectangle, about 4″x12″. Spoon about a tablespoon of tomato sauce onto the dough, keeping away from the edges. Add a sprinkling of cheese.
  6. Roll the dough tightly, and cut the log in half, lengthwise.
  7. Twist the two ropes together, and form a knot.
  8. After all 8 knots are formed, let rise for another 20 minutes before baking in a 350°F oven for 30 minutes.
