Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use freshly squeezed orange juice instead of store-bought.
- If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it is no longer sticky.
- Be careful not to overproof the dough. It should rise until it is doubled in size, but no more.
- Bake the knots in a preheated oven. This will help them to rise evenly.
- Brush the knots with melted butter before baking. This will give them a golden brown color and a slightly crispy crust.
- Serve the knots warm, with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Orange knots are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft and fluffy on the inside, with a slightly crispy crust and a sweet and tangy orange flavor. Whether you are serving them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, orange knots are sure to be a hit.
